1 Samuel 15:6

6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go on and leave! Go down from among the Amalekites! Otherwise I will sweep you away ^{▼▼ The translation follows the Syriac Peshitta and Vulgate which assume a reading אֶסִפְךָ (’esf^eka, “I sweep you away,” from the root ספה [sfh]) rather than the MT אֹסִפְךָ (’osif^eka, “I am gathering you,” from the root אסף[’sf]).} with them! After all, you were kind to all the Israelites when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites withdrew from among the Amalekites.
