R. Yossi b. Chalafta says: "And Amalek came": He came with counsel. We are hereby apprised that he gathered all the nations together and said to them: Come and help me against Israel. They replied: We cannot stand up against him. Pharaoh could not withstand them, for the Holy One Blessed be He drowned them in the Red Sea, viz. (Psalms 136:15) "And He threw out Pharaoh and his hosts in the Red Sea"—How can we stand up against them? Amalek: Come and I will counsel you: If they defeat me, flee; and if not, come and help me against Israel. Thus, "And Amalek came"—he came with counsel.
