Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Agag came unto him delicately - The Septuagint have , trembling; the original, maadannoth , delicacies; probably ish , man, understood; a man of delights, a pleasure-taker: the Vulgate, pinguissimus et tremens , "very fat and trembling."
Surely the bitterness of death is past - Almost all the versions render this differently from ours. Surely death is bitter, is their general sense; and this seems to be the true meaning.
