1 Samuel 15:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 15:8

And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive
This name seems to be a common name of the kings of these people, as Pharaoh was of the Egyptians, see ( Numbers 24:2 ) . When this king fell into the hands of Saul, he did not put him to death, as he should have done, but preserved him; for what reasons, see in the following verse:

and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword;
that is, all that came in his way, or fell into his hands; all between Havilah and Shur; all excepting those that made their escape, for we after read of Amalekites, and that in large bodies, ( 1 Samuel 27:8 ) ( 30:1 ) .

7 Depois Saul feriu os amalequitas desde Havilá até chegar a Sur, que está defronte do Egito.
8 E tomou vivo a Agague, rei dos amalequitas, porém a todo o povo destruiu ao fio da espada.
9 Mas Saul e o povo pouparam a Agague, como também ao melhor das ovelhas, dos bois, e dos animais engordados, e aos cordeiros, e a tudo o que era bom, e não os quiseram destruir totalmente; porém a tudo o que era vil e desprezível destruíram totalmente.
10 Então veio a palavra do Senhor a Samuel, dizendo:
