The Amalekite Raid Route
The Egyptian servant details the Amalekite raid. Commentators explain the "Cherethites" were a Philistine people, possibly from Crete, living in the south. The raid also struck the southern territories of Judah, including a district specifically associated with the family of Caleb. This provides a clear map of the enemy's path of destruction.
