The most notable Agag in the Bible is the king whom King Saul spared in disobedience to God's command, leading to Saul's rejection as king.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Amalekites were descendants of Esau and were known for their hostility towards the Israelites. They attacked the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt, which led to a divine decree of their eventual destruction (Exodus 17:14-16). The name Agag is associated with the Amalekite kings, and their enmity with Israel is emblematic of the spiritual battle between God's people and their adversaries.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/89.htm">Age</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>king of Amalek<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Agag (8).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲגָג</font>, (<font class="hebrew2">אֲגַג</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/24-7.htm">Numbers 24:7</a>) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>violent</em> ?
