(n) He expected nothing less than death, or as some write, he passed not for death.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

32. Agag came unto him delicately-or cheerfully, since he had gained the favor and protection of the king.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:32-35 Many think the bitterness of death is past when it is not gone by; they put that evil day far from them, which is very near. Samuel calls Agag to account for his own sins. He followed the example of his ancestors' cruelty, justly therefore is all the righteous blood shed by Amalek required. Saul seems unconcerned at the token of God's displeasure which he lay under, yet Samuel mourns day and night for him. Jerusalem was carnally secure while Christ wept over it. Do we desire to do the whole will of God? Turn to him, not in form and appearance, but with sincerity.


1 Samuel 15:31 So Samuel went back following Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.
1 Samuel 15:33 But Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal. (NASB ©1995)
