Question 1 Report

Why did Saul tell the Kenites to go away from among the Amalekites?
Answer Details
Saul told the Kenites to go away from among the Amalekites because the Kenites had shown kindness to Israel. The Amalekites were a group of people who had been enemies of Israel for a long time. God had instructed Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites and everything they owned, including people and animals. However, the Kenites were a different group of people who had been friendly to Israel in the past, and Saul did not want them to be harmed in the conflict. Therefore, he told the Kenites to leave the area so that they would not be caught in the middle of the battle. This shows that Saul had a concern for the well-being of the Kenites and recognized their kindness to Israel.
