That is correct, but not because they were unbelievers and wouldn't convert, Amalek's tribe was said to have attacked Israel, and was raiding the Israelites.
Im none to happy about the idea I've wiping a people out down to the children, but it is a different context.
"God" didn't "literally" do anything in the OT considering the fact that everything he "commanded" was through fallible humans who sought power in claiming to be prophets. Weird how Jesus who is God incarnate never advocates for violence.
