1 Samuel 14:37

1Sa 14:37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.

Ver. 37. And Saul asked counsel of God. ] Since the high priest would needs have it so. See 1 Samuel 14:34 .

But he answered him not that day. ] A sure sign of his displeasure, as 1 Samuel 28:6 . God either answereth not wicked men at all, Eze 20:2-3 or else he answereth them according to the idols of their hearts, with bitter answers: Eze 14:20 sending them to the gods whom they had chosen, as Judges 10:13-14 .
