New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Exodus 17
¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven."
¹⁵ Moses built an altar and named it The Lord is My Banner;
¹⁶ and he said, "The Lord has sworn; the Lord will have war against Amalek from generation to generation."
Exodus 18
¹ Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people, how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
² Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, took Moses’ wife Zipporah, after he had sent her away,
³ and her two sons, of whom one was named Gershom, for Moses said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."
⁴ The other was named Eliezer, for he said, "The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."
⁵ Then Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was camped, at the mount of God.
⁶ He sent word to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her."
⁷ Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent.
⁸ Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel’s sake, all the hardship that had befallen them on the journey, and how the Lord had delivered them.
