Verse 1
The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
Jakeh — Who lived either in Solomon's time, or rather afterwards, and was famous in his generation for wisdom and piety.
The prophecy — The prophetical instruction; for as the prophets were public preachers as well as foretellers of things to come, so their sermons, no less than their predictions, are commonly called their prophecies.
And Ucal — Two friends and co-temporaries of Agur, who desired his instructions.
