Agur.Agur was probably a public teacher, and Ithiel and Ucal, his pupils; and this was the {massa,} or oracle, which he delivered, not by his own wisdom, but by the Holy Spirit, for the benefit of man; and which, it is probable, was added by "the men of Hezekiah."even.
Prov. 31:1• 1The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him: (Prov. 31:1)
;
2 Peter 1:19‑21• 19And we have the prophetic word made surer, to which ye do well taking heed (as to a lamp shining in an obscure place) until the day dawn and the morning star arise in your hearts;
 20knowing this first, that the scope of no prophecy of scripture is had from its own particular interpretation,
 21for prophecy was not ever uttered by the will of man, but holy men of God spake under the power of the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:19‑21)
• We now take up the study of the words of Agur, a wise man who keenly felt his ignorance, as is generally the case with the truly enlightened. (“Proverbs Thirty” by H.A. Ironside)
• Agur was an inspired man of whom we have no record elsewhere in Scripture; while his father’s name gives no clue to his family or tribe in Israel. Ithiel, which is taken to mean “God is with me”; and Ucal, “able,” are apparently his companions, or possibly persons who received instruction from him. (“Proverbs Thirty” by H.A. Ironside)
