1 Samuel 15:32 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Delicately, or in delights, or in his ornaments, i.e. he came not like an offender, expecting the sentence of death, but in that garb and gesture which became his quality. And Agag said, or, for Agag said; this being the reason why he came so. The bitterness of death is past: I who have escaped death from the hands of a warlike prince in the fury of battle, shall certainly never suffer death from an old prophet in time of peace.

1 Samuel 15:32

32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
