Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Samuel 13:20

But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.Philistines — Not to the land of the Philistines, but to the stations and garrisons which the Philistines retained in several parts of Israel's land, though Samuel's authority had so far over-awed them, that they durst not give the Israelites much disturbance. In these, therefore, the Philistines kept all the smiths; and here they allowed them the exercise of their... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Samuel 13:22

So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.Sword — It seems restrained to the six hundred that were with Saul and Jonathan; for there were no doubt a considerable number of swords and spears among the Israelites, but they generally hid them, as now they did their persons, from the Philistines. And the Philistines had not yet... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:8

8. He tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel It is proper to complete this sentence, as our translators have done, by had appointed. The reference is to Samuel’s words, as recorded in chap. 1 Samuel 10:8. That seer’s prophetic eye had fastened on this scene of excitement and trial, and he had given Saul solemn counsel to wait at such time for his coming and additional directions. This season of trial was designed to test severely the youthful monarch’s faith in God. ... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:9

9. He offered the burnt offering We need not suppose that Saul offered this sacrifice with his own hand. As we have observed on chap. 1 Samuel 7:9, the presence of priests on such occasions is naturally understood, and no specification of that fact was necessary. So Saul’s blowing of the trumpet (1 Samuel 13:3) throughout all the land is not to be understood of his personal act. The command, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, is but a part of the order to offer such sacrifice in his... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:10

10. That he might salute him Or, bless him, as the margin has it. Saul held Samuel in the highest esteem, and always showed the greatest reverence for his prophetical office; but his rash and headstrong disposition led him more than once to forget or disregard his counsels. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:11

11. What hast thou done Samuel’s heart sinks within him, and this question is the exclamation of an inward pang. He probably saw remorse and sorrow depicted on the face of the unhappy Saul. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:12

12. I forced myself I did violence to my conscience, and with great reluctance did this act. But all his apology is very feeble in the face of a broken commandment, and of the most plain and solemn counsels of his great spiritual father. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:13

13. Thou hast done foolishly “The prophet knew very well that there are many foolishnesses in the heart of man; but in his view, and in that of all the sacred writers, the lowest depth of human foolishness was in disobedience to the Lord’s commandments. There are two kinds of fools prominently noticed in Scripture the fool who denies that there is any God, and the fool who does not obey God though he does not deny his existence. And yet, after all, these are but one. One may as well... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:14

14. Thy kingdom shall not continue This means, as the context and the sequel show, that his kingdom should not be transmitted to his posterity, but transferred to another person of a truer heart. Neither this passage, nor its parallel in 1 Samuel 15:28, means that Saul was to be personally deposed, and another succeed him during his lifetime. The words of Samuel are simply a prophecy of what was to be. A man after his own heart David, as we shall find in the subsequent history. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:15

15. About six hundred men Alas! Whither had gone the two thousand select warriors that were with him on the heights of Michmash? Fled to the thickets and the caves. Ammonites they can boldly fight and conquer; but when the Philistines threaten with numbers as the sand of the sea, their memory is filled with past oppressions, and they cower and tremble at the thoughts of battle. read more
