* And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel : and the people mourned greatly . * And they rose up early in the morning , and gat them up into the top of the mountain , saying , Lo , we be here , and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised : for we have sinned . * And Moses said , Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD ? but it shall not prosper . * Go not up , for the LORD is not among you ; that ye be not smitten before your enemies . * For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you , and ye shall fall by the sword : because ye are turned away from the LORD , therefore the LORD will not be with you . * But they presumed to go up unto the hill top : nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD , and Moses , departed not out of the camp . * Then the Amalekites came down , and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill , and smote them , and discomfited them , even unto Hormah .
