1 Samuel 12:17

1 Samuel 12:17 -

Wheat harvest. Barley was fit for reaping at the Passover, and wheat at Pentecost, i.e. between the middle of May and the middle of June. Jerome, on Amos 4:7 , testifies that during his long residence in Palestine he had never seen rain there during June and July; but Conder, says, "Storms still occur occasionally in harvest time." He shall send thunder. Hebrew, voices, and so in verse 18 (see 1 Samuel 2:10 ; 1 Samuel 7:9 ).

DIVINE TESTIMONY TO SAMUEL 'S INTEGRITY (verses 18-25).
