1 Samuel 10:22. “They inquired of the Lord … and the Lord answered.” “The inquiry was made through the high priest, by means of the Urim and Thummim. There can be no doubt that in a gathering of the people for so important a purpose, the high priest would also be present, even though this is not expressly stated.” (Keil). “The high-priest’s office was vacant, some other, not Samuel, who presided over the assembly and the election, but a priest, in the high priestly robes, conducted the solemn... read more

Therefore Samuel, to whom all still looked for judgment, assembled the people at Mizpeh, where Jehovah had on a former... read more
