SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:12
Y un varón de allí respondió, y dijo: ¿Y quién es el padre de ellos? Por esta causa se tornó en proverbio: ¿También Saúl entre los profetas?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:12
Verse 12. But who is their father?] The Septuagint, in its principal editions, adds ou keiv; is it not Kish? This makes the sense more complete.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And one of the same place answered, and said , etc.] One of the same city, and in the same company, that expressed their admiration at what was come to Saul, and at what he did, and wondering how he came into such company, and to have such a gift, who was of so mean an education: but who is their father? the father of the prophets ; their fathers were not prophets, no more than Saul’s was; their Father that taught them is the Lord, and he was able to teach Saul, and bestow on him the gift of prophecy, as well as on them; and so the Targum, who is their master or teacher; for though they might have an undermaster or teacher, as Samuel, or another prophet, yet their chief teacher was God; who could and did give men the gift of prophecy, and even in the highest sense, who had neither prophets for their fathers, nor were indeed trained up in any of the schools of the prophets, which was the case of Amos: therefore it became a proverb, is Saul also among the prophets ? that when a person of a mean parentage, and of a low life and education, was raised up to any degree of dignity in sacred and civil things, they used to apply this proverbial expression to him, or speak of him in this manner, is Saul among the prophets?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-16 - The signs Samuel had given Saul, came to pass punctually; he found tha God had given him another heart, another disposition of mind. Yet le not an outward show of devotion, and a sudden change for the present be too much relied on; Saul among the prophets was Saul still. Hi being anointed was kept private. He leaves it to God to carry on his own work by Samuel, and sits still, to see how the matter will fall.
