 It is, however, possible that the name Amalek may have been given to two different nations.The Arabians mention "Imlik", "Amalik", or "Ameleka" among the aborigines of Arabia, the remains of which were mingled with the descendants of Joktan and Adnan and became "Mostarabs" or "Mocarabes", that is, Arabians mixed with foreigners.By the 19th century, there was strong support by Western theologians for the idea that the nation of Amalek could have flourished before the time of Abraham.
