DISCOURSE: 298SAUL’S SELF-DECEIT1 Samuel 15:13-16. And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the Lord: I have performed the commandment of the Lord. And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. Then Samuel... read more

DISCOURSE: 299SAUL’S DISOBEDIENCE AND PUNISHMENT1 Samuel 15:22-23. And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.THE sins of God’s enemies, and especially of those... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 15:1-35

Chapter 15Now as we get into chapter fifteen,Samuel came to Saul, and said, The Lord sent me to anoint you to be king over his people, over Israel: now hearken unto the voice of the words of the Lord ( 1 Samuel 15:1 ).Now he has shown a pattern of disobedience up to this point. He has become self-willed, doing his own thing. So the prophet is coming and warning him. This to me is very significant, because God does seek to warn us from our self-willed path of destruction. God doesn't just let... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 15:1-35

1 Samuel 15:2 . I remember what Amalek did; Numbers 17:8; and what he has often repeated, in the effusion of innocent blood. He joined Midian, and the children of the east, in a bloody and unprovoked invasion of Israel. Judges 6:3. 1 Samuel 15:3 . Utterly destroy all. God himself passed the sentence. The Kenites, (1 Samuel 15:6, and Judges 1:4.) live for their kindness, while the Amalekites die for their cruelties. But many saved themselves by flight, for David found them still occupying... read more

1 Samuel 15:11-23It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king.Saul rejectedThe story is graphic and pathetic. This is Saul’s victory and also his defeat. Our defeats are often wrapped up in our victories. Some of our most dismal failures are hidden from us by the glare of a partial and disastrous success. Saul succeeded and failed. He conquered Agag, but disobeyed God. And so the glory of his victory is lost in the darkness of his defeat. A man may conquer the greatest of earth’s kings,... read more

1 Samuel 15:14What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears. Hypocrisy1.I learn, first, from the subject that God will expose hypocrisy. A hypocrite is one who pretends to be what he is not, or to do what he does not. Saul was only a type of a class. There are a great many churches that have two or three ecclesiastical Uriah Heeps. When the fox begins to pray, look out for your chickens. A man of that kind is of immense damage to the Church of Christ. A ship may outride a hundred... read more

1 Samuel 15:20Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which the Lord sent me.Saul’s obedienceWe invite your attention to some features of Saul’s character, as drawn out by the way in which he obeyed the Divine command.1. First, let us notice the zeal and alacrity with which Saul proceeded to carry out the Divine will. Unlike Moses, who complained of his want of eloquence when bidden to go to Pharaoh in Jehovah’s name, and plead for the deliverance of his oppressed... read more

1 Samuel 15:22Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice.Obedience and sacrificeSaul’s misconduct supplied the occasion for the announcement of an absolute and eternal truth.I. That sacrifice is only circumstantially necessary, but obedience is essentially so.1. Sacrifice is either an atonement for offence, and then, however excellent the remedy, it cannot for its own sake be as acceptable to the Creator as the healthful action which renders the remedy unnecessary.2. It is the suffering... read more

1 Samuel 15:23Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. Rebellion against God all malignant as witchcraftTo rebel against the clearest light and most express declaration of the will of God: this is an action of the like malignity, even as the sin of witchcraft. When a crime is said to be “as the sin of witchcraft,” the meaning is that it is a fault of so heinous and provoking a nature that the obstinate commission of it is altogether inconsistent with all true principles of religion, and, in... read more
