VERSE 1
- A.M. 2925.  B.C. 1079. An. Ex. Is. 412.  The Lord.

- Amalek.
   * Ex 17:8-16 Nu 24:20 De 25:17-19


VERSE 3 
 - Now go.
  The Amalekites, a people of Arabia Petraea, who inhabited a
  tract of country on the frontiers of Egypt and Canaan, had
  acted with great cruelty towards the Israelites on their
  coming out of Egypt, and God then purposed that Amalek, as a
  nation, should be blotted out from under heaven; but it had
  been spared till it had filled up the measure of its
  iniquities, and now this purpose is carried into effect by
  Saul, upwards of 400 years afterwards!  Nothing could justify
  such an exterminating decree but the absolute authority of
  God; and this was given:  all the reasons of it we do not
  know; but this we know well, the Judge of all the earth doeth
  right.

- utterly destroy.

  Literally as the LXX. render [            ,] a hand; probably
  because the trophy or monument of victory was in the shape of
  a large hand, the emblem of power, erected on a pillar.  These
  memorial pillars were anciently much in use; and the figure of
  a hand, by its emblematical meaning, was well adapted to
  preserve the remembrance of a victory.  Niebuhr, speaking of
  the Mesjed Ali, or Mosque of Ali, says that, "at the top of
  the dome, where one generally sees on the Turkish mosques a
  crescent, or only a pole, there is here a hand stretched out,
  to represent that of Ali."  Another writer informs us, that at
  the Alhamra, or red palace of the Moorish kings in Grenada,
  "on the key-stone of the outward arch [of the present
  principal entrance] is sculptured the figure of an arm, the
  symbol of strength and dominion."

- Samuel.
  It has been a matter of wonder to many, how Samuel could thus
  slay a captive prince, even in the presence of Saul, who from
  motives of clemency had spared him; but it should be remarked,
  that what Samuel did here, he did in his magisterial capacity;
  and that Agag had been a cruel tyrant, and therefore was cut
  off for his merciless cruelties.  Farther, it is not likely
  that he did it by his own sword, but by that of the
  executioner.  What kings, civil officers, and generals do, in an
  official way, by their subjects, servants, or soldiers, they
  are said to do themselves:--{qui facit per alterum, facit per
  se.}
