Fürst says the <i> [[Gentile]] </i> name "of Haman is therefore explained by Josephus τὸ γένος Ἀμαλεκίτες and so too by [[Jewish]] tradition." That is, that Haman was an Amalekite. This explains why [[Mordecai]] refused to bow down before Haman. He was of that race with which [[Jehovah]] had sworn to have war for ever, and which Saul was directed to utterly exterminate. &nbsp;Exodus 17:16; &nbsp;Deuteronomy 25:19; &nbsp;1 Samuel 15:3 . </p>

Agagite [1]

ā´gag - ı̄t , (אגגי , 'ăghāghı̄ , from, אגג , 'ăghagh , "a member of the house of Agag"): A title of opprobrium given to Haman ( Esther 3:1 ,  Esther 3:10;  Esther 8:3 ,  Esther 8:5;  Esther 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 ( Esther 3:1 ,  Esther 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 .
