1 Samuel15:32
32 ¶ Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites: and Agag came unto him delicately . And Agag said , Surely the bitterness of death is past .
Or, in Delights; or, in his Ornaments; i. e. He came not like an Offendor, expecting the Sentence of Death; but in that Garb and Gesture which became his Quality.
Or, for Agag said: This being the reason why he came so.
I who have escaped Death from the hands of a Warlike Prince in the fury of Battel, shall certainly never suffer Death from an old Prophet in time of Peace.
