Agagite
VIEW:57 DATA:01-04-2020
AGAGITE.The designation of Haman (Est_3:1; Est_3:10; Est_8:3; Est_8:5; Est_9:24). Josephus (Ant. XI. vi. 5) calls him an Amalekite. The epithet in Esther indicates that, as Agag was Sauls adversary, so Haman was the foe of this other Benjamite. The LXX [Note: Septuagint.] reads Bugaios, Est_3:1, Est_8:5, omits at Est_3:10, and at Est_9:24, EST 16:10 has Macedonian, a word of evil connotation after Antiochus Epiphanes.

ā?gag-ı̄t, (אגגי, 'ăghāghı̄, from, אגג, 'ăghagh, ?a member of the house of Agag?): A title of opprobrium given to Haman (Est_3:1, Est_3:10; Est_8:3, Est_8:5; Est_9:24). Jewish tradition always assigned the arch-enemies of Israel membership in the house of Amalek, the hereditary foe of the nation. Compare Ant, XI, vi, 5. The word Agag has properly been taken by Delitzsch as related to the Assyrian agagu, ?to be powerful,? ?vehement,? ?angry.? In the Greek parts of Esther, Haman is termed a Macedonian (Est_3:1, Est_3:10). The name Haman is probably of Elamitic origin. Oppert's attempt to connect the term ?Agagite? with ?Agaz,? a Median tribe mentioned by Sargon, has found no supporters. See AGAG.
