Jos 10:24; 1Sa 15:33; Ps 149:9 Rise thou.It was disgraceful to fall by the hands of a child; and death by the blows of such a person must be much more lingering and tormenting. Some have employed children to dispatch captives. 9:54; 1Sa 31:3,5; Re 9:6slew.Ps 83:1ornaments. or, ornaments like the moon.Isa 3:181 Samuel 15:33
As thy sword.Ge 9:6; Ex 17:11; Nu 14:45; Jud 1:7; Mt 7:2; Jas 2:13; Re 16:6; 18:6Samuel.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, magistrates, 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.} hewed.Nu 25:7,8; 1Ki 18:40; Isa 34:6; Jer 48:102 Samuel 1:15

This led to many abuses, and the perversion of public justice; and God decreed (Ex 24:14) that the presumptuous murderer, who had taken refuge at his altar, should be dragged thence and put to death. buried.2Ki 21:18; 2Ch 33:20in the.Jos 15:61; Mt 3:11 Kings 2:46
