STEPBible TIPNR
Agag is mentioned in the oracle of Balaam, a prophet hired by Balak, king of Moab, to curse Israel. In Balaam's third oracle, he prophesies about Israel's future, stating, "Their king shall be higher than Agag, and their kingdom shall be exalted." This suggests that Agag was a well-known, powerful king at the time.
