Dear list:

While reading through Judges, I came across Judges 12:15 where there is a
place name in Ephraim called the Amalekite Mountain. From just these two
references, it is hard to figure out exactly how extensive this area named
for Amelek was in Ephraim, but from the context it appears that it was
considered the heartland of the tribe. Or it could have been just a poetic
reference in Judges 5, taking advantage of the fact that there was a place
in Ephraim named for Amelek.
