Exodus 17:11-12

11 Whenever Moses ^aheld up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and ^bHur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
