However, the concept of kingship and enmity against Israel can be found in various Greek terms related to rulers and adversaries in the Septuagint and New Testament. Usage: The name Agag is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the king of the Amalekites during the time of King Saul. It is also mentioned in a poetic context in the prophecy of Balaam. Context: Agag is a title or name associated with the kings of the Amalekites, a nomadic tribe that was a persistent enemy of Israel. The most notable mention of Agag is in the narrative of 1 Samuel 15, where King Saul is commanded by God, through the prophet Samuel, to utterly destroy the Amalekites, including their king, Agag. Saul, however, spares Agag and the best of the livestock, disobeying God's command. This act of disobedience leads to Saul's rejection as king by God. Samuel later executes Agag, fulfilling the divine command. The name Agag also appears in Numbers 24:7, in Balaam's prophecy, where it is used symbolically to represent the enemies of Israel. The use of Agag in this context suggests a dynastic title similar to "Pharaoh" for Egyptian kings.
