    PREVIOUS CHAPTER - NEXT CHAPTER - HELP


    
    
    
      1  Saul despairing to find his father's asses,
     6  by the counsel of his servant,
    11  and direction of young maidens,
    15  according to God's revelation,
    18  comes to Samuel.
    19  Samuel entertains Saul at the feast.
    25  Samuel, after secret communication, brings Saul on his way.

     - what shall.
       * Jud 6:18; 13:15-17 1Ki 14:3 2Ki 4:42; 5:5; 8:8
    - spent in.  Heb. gone out of, etc.  there is not.
      We are not to suppose from this that the prophets took money
      to predict future events:  Saul only refers to an invariable
      custom, that no man approached a superior without some present
      or another, however small in value.  Dr. Pococke tells us of a
      present of fifty radishes!  Other authors mention a flower, an
      orange, or similar trifles; and Mr. Bruce says, that one who
      wished to solicit a favor from him, presented him with about
      a score of dates!  "I mention this trifling circumstance,"
      says Mr. B. "to shew how essential to human and civil
      intercourse presents are considered to be in the East; whether
      it be dates, or whether it be diamonds, they are so much a
      part of their manners, that without them, an inferior will
      never be at peace in his own mind, or think that he has hold
      of his superior for protection.  But superiors give no
      presents to their inferiors."  Presents then are tokens of
      honor; not intended as offers of payment or enrichment.
    
    - have we.  Heb. is with us.
    
    
    VERSE 8 
     - I have here at hand.  Heb. there is found in my hand.
       * :8
    
    
    VERSE 9 
     - enquire.
       * Ge 25:22 Jud 1:1
    - a Seer.
       * 2Sa 24:11 2Ki 17:13 1Ch 26:28; 29:29 2Ch 16:7,10 Isa 29:10

       * Ge 24:11,18-20 Ex 2:16 Jud 5:11

    VERSE 14
    
    
    VERSE 15 
     - the Lord.
       * :17; 15:1 Ps 25:14 Am 3:7 Mr 11:2-4; 14:13-16 Ac 13:21; 27:23
    - told Samuel in his ear.  Heb. revealed the ear of Samuel.

       * 1Sa 16:6-12 Ho 13:11
    - reign over.  Heb. restrain in.
       * 1Sa 3:13 2Sa 23:6,7 Ne 13:19,25 Ac 13:21 Ro 13:3,4
    
    VERSE 18
    
    
    VERSE 19 
     - the seer.
      The word {roaih} literally signifies one who sees;
      particularly preternatural sights.  A seer and a prophet were
      the same in most cases; only with this difference, the seer
      was always a prophet, but the prophet was not always a seer.
      A seer seems to imply one who frequently met with and saw some
      symbolical representation of God.  All prophets, true or
      false, profess to see God, (see Nu 24:4, 16.  Jer 14:4;) and
      diviners, in their enthusiastic flights, boasted that they had
      those things exhibited to their sight which should come to
      pass.
    
    - and will tell.
       * Joh 4:29 1Co 14:25
    
    
    VERSE 20 
     - three days ago.  Heb. to-day three days.
       * :3
    - set not.
       * 1Sa 4:20 *marg:
       * 1Ch 29:3 Ps 62:10 Col 3:2
    - on whom.
       * 1Sa 8:5,19; 12:13,15
    
    
    VERSE 21 
     - a Benjamite.
       * Jud 20:46-48 Ps 68:27
    - my family.
       * 1Sa 10:27; 15:17; 18:18,23 Jud 6:14,15 Ho 13:1 Lu 14:11 Eph 3:8
    - so to me.  Heb. according to this word.
    
    
    VERSE 22 
     - in the chiefest.
       * Ge 43:32 Lu 14:10
    
    
    VERSE 23 
     - Bring.
       * 1Sa 1:5 Ge 43:34
    
    
    VERSE 24 
     - the shoulder.
      Probably the shoulder was set before Saul, not because it was
      the best part, but because it was an emblem of the government
      to which he was now called.  (See Isa 9:6.)
    
       * Le 7:32,33 Eze 24:4
    - left.  or, reserved.
    
    
    VERSE 25 
     - And when.
       * :13
    - the top.
       * De 22:8 2Sa 11:2 Ne 8:16 Jer 19:13 Mt 10:27 Ac 10:9
    
    
    VERSE 26 
     - Samuel.
      Saul had no doubt slept there all night, as is usual in the
      East; and now, being the break of day, "Samuel called to Saul
      on the top of the house:"  there was no calling him to the top
      of the house a second time; he was sleeping there, and Samuel
      called him up.
    
    - Up.
       * Ge 19:14; 44:4 Jos 7:13 Jud 19:28
    
    
    VERSE 27 
     - Bid the servant.
       * 1Sa 20:38,39 Joh 15:14,15
    - a while.  Heb. to-day.  that I may.
       * 1Sa 15:16 2Ki 9:5,6
