“Amalek was first among the nations,
But shall be last until he perishes.”
“Firm is your dwelling place,
And your nest is set in the rock;
How long until Asshur carries you away captive?”
And they shall afflict Asshur and afflict bEber,
And so shall1 Amalek, until he perishes.”

Numbers 24:22
Until Asshur shall carry thee away captive - The Assyrians and Babylonians who carried away captive the ten tribes, II Kings 17:6, and the Jews into Babylon, II Kings 25, probably carried away the Kenites also. Indeed this seems pretty evident, as we find some Kenites mentioned among the Jews after their return from the Babylonish captivity, I Chronicles 2:55.
