📚 Historical Context
This is part of Balaam's third blessing over Israel, spoken while overlooking the Israelite camp in the wilderness. Agag was likely a title for Amalekite kings, representing Israel's enemies. Balaam had been hired by the Moabite king Balak to curse Israel, but God compelled him to bless them instead.
