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• 19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (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)
