The Amalekites defeated by King Saul were not the ones living in the Negev and/or the Sinai, but a northern branch of this people, "in the territory of Ephraim, on the highlands of Amalek" - or, in an alternative translation "in the Land of Ephraim, the mountains of the Amalekites" (Judges 12:15).
Orang-orang Amalek yang dikalahkan oleh raja Saul bukanlah yang tinggal di dataran Negev dan/atau Sinai, melainkan cabang utara suku ini, "di wilayah suku Efraim, di dataran tinggi Amalek" - atau, terjemahan alternatifnya "di tanah Efraim, di pegunungan orang Amalek" (Hakim-hakim 12:15).
