Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:23

‘ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.’ Meanwhile the Philistines, aware of Saul’s small guerilla force, sent a smallish garrison to a peak on the pass of Michmash so as to keep watch over the camp of the Israel contingent, and over the general countryside. They were no doubt also well aware that there was an army of unknown size hidden in the hills. But it would seem that they had little fear about what that army could do to them. To them it had become a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:23

1 Samuel 13:23 to 1 Samuel 14:15 . The ancient narrative, continuing 1 Samuel 13:18. Saul was at Geba (see on 1 Samuel 13:2), having with him the priest Ahijah, carrying the ephod— here not a garment, but some article used in casting the sacred lot (see 1 Samuel 2:28 *, Judges 8:27). A valley lay between the two camps, dominated on either side by a steep crag, called respectively Bozez, “ Shining,” and Seneh, “ Thorny.” Unknown to Saul and the Israelites, Jonathan and his armourbearer... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 13:8

Seven days; not seven complete days; for that the last day was not finished plainly appears from Samuel’s reproof, which had then been groundless and absurd, and he had falsely charged Saul with breaking God’s command therein, 1 Samuel 13:13. And as Samuel came on the seventh day, and that with intent to sacrifice; so doubtless he came in due time for that work, which was to be done before sun-setting, Exodus 29:38,Exodus 29:39. So Saul waited only six complete days, and part of the seventh,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 13:10

Behold, Samuel came, i.e. it was told Saul, Behold, Samuel is coming. Salute him, i.e. congratulate his coming. This he did, partly out of custom; and partly, that by this testimony of his affection and respect to Samuel, he might prevent that rebuke which his guilty conscience made him expect. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 13:11

What hast thou done? he suspected that Saul had transgressed, either by his dejected countenance, or some words uttered by him, though not here expressed; but he asks him, that he might be more fitly and certainly informed, and that Saul might be brought to an ingenuous confession of his sin, and true repentance for it. within the days appointed, i.e. when the seventh day was come, and a good part of it past; whence I concluded thou wouldst not come that day, and that thou hadst forgotten thy... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 13:12

I have not made supplication to the Lord; hence it appears that sacrifices were accompanied with solemn prayers. I forced myself; I did it against my own mind and inclination. My conscience told me I should forbear it, and punctually obey God’s command delivered to me by Samuel, but my necessity urged me to make haste. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 13:13

Thou hast done foolishly in that very thing wherein thou thinkest thou hast done wisely and politicly, in disobeying my express command upon a pretended necessity, or reason of state. The Lord thy God; not only upon common grounds, as thou art his creature, and one of his people; but in a special manner, who hath conferred peculiar favours and honours upon thee; which is an aggravation of thy sin. Now would the Lord have established thy kingdom on Israel for ever. Quest. How could this be true,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 13:14

Hath sought, i.e. hath found or discovered, as men do by seeking, an anthropopathy. A man after his own heart, i.e. such a man as he desires, one who will fulfil all the desires of his heart, and not oppose them, as thou dost. Hath commanded, i.e. hath appointed or decreed, as the word command is sometimes used; for it was not yet actually done. Because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee. Quest. First, What was Saul’s sin? Answ. Either, first, That Saul invaded the priest’s... read more
