Subjects in this Topic:
AGAG.—1. Num_24:7, probably a copyist’s error: LXX [Note: Septuagint.] has Gog. 2. 1Sa_15:1-35, the king of Amalek, whom Saul defeated and spared; some Gr. MSS name his father Aser (1Sa_15:33). Whether he met his fate bravely or timidly cannot be determined from the extant text (1Sa_15:32). Samuel considered him to be under the ban of extermination, and therefore killed him as a religious act (1Sa_15:33).
