But when Saul had conquered all these Amalekites that reached from
Pelusium of Egypt to the Red Sea, he laid waste all the rest of the enemy's
country: but for the nation of the Shechemites, he did not touch them,
although they dwelt in the very middle of the country of Midian; for before
the battle, Saul had sent to them, and charged them to depart thence, lest
they should be partakers of the miseries of the Amalekites; for he had
a just occasion for saving them, since they were of the kindred of Raguel,
Moses's father-in-law.
