Item 1: Amalakites attack Israel in the exodus from Egypt. Yahweh says when you get to them, they are under the ban, destroy them completely, even the loot.
Item 2: King Agag of the Amalakites does battle with Saul, who can’t bring himself to destroy all of their goods and keeps the high-value stuff to pay his bros. Samuel gets mad, strips the king anointing from Saul, and kills King Agag himself.
Item 3: Haman the Agagite (of King Agag of the Amalekites) orchestrates the wholesale slaughter and destruction of the Jews. Then blocked and completely upended and his nation was destroyed by the completely unpredictable and divinely orchestrated ascendant queen Esther.

Yahweh knew. He gets his man in the end.
