"Even though the Torah commands us to wipe out the descendants of Amalek, if an Amalekite agrees to observe the seven Noahide laws, he no longer has the status of an Amalekite, and one may not kill him." (ph.yhb.org.il)

"Moreover, even if the Amalekites do not volunteer to observe the seven Noahide laws, we are commanded to offer them peace before waging war against them. That is, we offer them the opportunity to adopt the seven Noahide laws and to agree to be subservient to, and pay tribute to, the Jewish people. If they accept these conditions of peace, we do not wage war against them. If they refuse, however, we fight them until they are eradicated. Even if they reconsider afterward and beg for peace, we do not accept; once the war has begun, we fight them until they are eradicated (mt, Laws of Kings 6:1-4; Kesef Mishneh ad loc.)."

Talmudic Judaism is such a crazy thing. They didn’t like what the Old Testament said so they just re-interpreted everything in their favor. Now they pretty much ignore the Torah. They wave around those scrolls a lot in religious ceremonies but they don’t really follow the Old Testament. The religious writings that they cite are all written after Jesus Christ’s death.
