Exegesis
The first object is the construct chain kol sedeh haʿamaleki {כָּל־שְׂדֵה הָעֲמָלֵקִי | kōl-śāḏeh hāʿămālēqî} ‘all the territory of the Amalekite,’ where kol in construct with sedeh intensifies the scope to total devastation of the region.
In context — Genesis 14:7
And they returned and came to the spring of judgment, that is Kadesh, and they struck all the territory of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who was dwelling in Hazezon-Tamar.
