Mount Of The Amalekites (הִר הָעֲמָלֵקַי; Sept. ὄρος τοῦ Α᾿μαλήκ; Vulg. Mons Amalech), a place near Pirathon, in the tribe of Ephraim (Jg 12:15), apparently so called from some branch of that Canaanitish clan settled there (comp. Jg 5:14, שָׁרשָׁם בִּעֲמָלֵק מַנַּי אֶפרִיַם, from Ephraim [came those] whose seat [was] by Amalek, A.V. "out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek"). SEE AMALEKITE.
