SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:14
Ellos entonces subieron a la ciudad; y cuando estuvieron en medio de la ciudad, he aquí Samuel que salía delante de ellos para subir al alto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 9:14
Verse 14. Come out against them] Met them.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And they went up into the city , etc.] Saul and his servant went up the hill to the city of Ramah: and when they were come into the city ; were within it, within the walls of it; behold, Samuel came out against them ; came out of a door of his house upon them, just as they came up: or “to meet them” f186 ; his way to the high place lay where they were coming; unless it can be thought he went out purposely to meet them, having, as in the following verse, an intimation, that about that time one from the tribe of Benjamin, who should be king, would come to him, and so made this his way, knowing that one coming from that tribe must come that way; but it seems most likely that this was his readiest way: for to go up to the high place ; or place of sitting down, or feasting, as the Targum, (see Gill on “ 1 Samuel 9:12”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-17 - The very maid-servants of the city could direct to the prophet. The had heard of the sacrifice, and could tell of the necessity for Samuel's presence. It is no small benefit to live in religious and holy places. And we should always be ready to help those who are seeking after God's prophets. Though God had, in displeasure, granted Israel' request for a king, yet he sends them a man to be captain over them, to save them out of the hand of the Philistines. He does it, listenin graciously to their cry.
