Proverbs 30:1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
Today we get a little history lesson. No one knows for sure who these names belong to in this scripture but it could be making reference to Solomon and David. “Agur” means gathered, many believe this is fanciful name for Solomon. “Jakeh” means obey or obedient. Here again, many believe this to be a symbolic name of Solomon. “Ithiel” means God has arrived. This too, is believed not to be a person, but a symbolic name. “Ucal” means devoured. Here again, this name has no history before or after this mention. Some think Agur addressed his wisdom perhaps to his favorite pupils, as Luke to Theophilus. It is not that important who wrote it but that we learn the wisdom from what is taught in this chapter.
