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 ) .

6 Saúl envió esta advertencia a los ceneos: «Apártense de donde viven los amalecitas o morirán junto con ellos. Pues ustedes fueron bondadosos con el pueblo de Israel cuando salió de Egipto». Así que los ceneos empacaron sus cosas y se fueron.
7 Luego Saúl mató a los amalecitas desde Havila hasta llegar a Shur, al oriente de Egipto.
8 Capturó a Agag, el rey amalecita, pero destruyó por completo a todos los demás.
9 Saúl y sus hombres le perdonaron la vida a Agag y se quedaron con lo mejor de las ovejas y las cabras, del ganado, de los becerros gordos y de los corderos; de hecho, con todo lo que les atrajo. Solo destruyeron lo que no tenía valor o que era de mala calidad.
10 El Señor
rechaza a Saúl
Luego el Señor
le dijo a Samuel:
