First Samuel 15:3

Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." [Num. 20:15–18]
[The Amalekites were a nomadic people who lived in southern Judah and the Negev desert. Like the Edomites, they were descended from Esau. They were Israel's arch enemies. It started as early as Ex. 17:8–13, when they wanted to prevent the Israelites from passing from Egypt to the west. Later, Moses urges them not to forget to destroy the Amalekites but to remember this well, see Deut. 25:19. In the Book of Esther, the evil Haman is a descendant of an Amalekite, see Est. 3:1. He wants to exterminate all Jews but fails. Amalek is also the spiritual force that throughout history has stood for/represented all kinds of anti-Semitism, i.e., a desire to exterminate the Jews. It has taken many forms throughout history, and even replacement theology (which teaches that the role of the Jews has been completely replaced by Christianity) is a variant of anti-Semitism.]
