[Avodah] why davka? amalek??

[Harvey Benton]

Lisa, I understand what you are saying, about keri being "cold" or happenstance, while we, in our better state(s) should be zrizim, l'mitzvot (eg. "hot" for Hashem"), however, my original question of why would their derech meakev, or hold back Hashem's glory, or as it were His Throne" from being complete??? wasnt' really addressed. 

 
>>>That's Amalek thinking.  There is no significance other than the immediate, prosaic, politics of the moment.  But we know better.  And Shmuel knew better.  And Agag may have figured it out himself in the moments before Shmuel hacked him to death.  But I doubt it.
