           three
           things
           are
           very
           remarkable
           .
           First
           ,
           the
           people
           did
           murmure
           for
           want
           of
           water
           ,
           and
           God
           relieved
           them
           ,
           Secondly
           ,
           
             Amaleck
          
           fought
           against
           Israel
           ,
           and
           was
           overcome
           .
           Thirdly
           ,
           Rulers
           were
           set
           over
           the
           people
           ,
           because
           of
           the
           hardnesse
           of
           their
           hearts
           .
           These
           three
           were
           all
           fulfilled
