撒母耳记上 10:9-11 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:9-16

Saul has now taken his leave of Samuel, much amazed, we may well suppose, at what has been done to him, almost ready to question whether he be awake or no, and whether it be not all a dream. Now here we are told, I. What occurred by the way, 1 Sam. 10:9. Those signs which Samuel had given him came to pass very punctually; but that which gave him the greatest satisfaction of all was this, he found immediately that God had given him another heart. A new fire was kindled in his breast, such as he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:9

And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel ,.... When he had taken his leave of him, and set forward on his journey: God gave him another heart ; not in a moral or spiritual sense, not a new heart, and a new spirit, as in conversion, but in a civil sense, a right heart, a heart fit for government; filled with wisdom and prudence to rule a people; with courage and magnanimity to protect and defend them against their enemies, and fight for them; a heart not taken up... read more

When they came thither to the hill ,.... Or, to Gibeah, as the Targum, and so Josephus F5 Ut supra. (Antiqu. l. 6. c. 4. sect. 2.) : behold, a company of prophets met him ; as foretold, 1 Samuel 10:5 , and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied among them ; the spirit of prophecy, as the Targum, and he sung praises among them; he joined with them in their psalmody, and performed it as regularly as if he had been brought up with them. The Jews say F6 ... read more

And it came to pass, that when all that knew him before time ,.... As there must be many that personally knew him, and were acquainted with him, since Gibeah, the place he was near to, was his native place: saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets ; or praised among them, as the Targum, sung psalms and hymns with them: what is this that is come unto the son of Kish ? a rustic, a plebeian, that never was in the school of the prophets, or learned music, and yet is as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:9

God gave him another heart. The Hebrew is remarkable: "When he turned his shoulder to go from Samuel, God also turned for him another heart," i.e. God turned him round by giving him a changed heart. He grew internally up to the level of his changed circumstances. No longer had he the feelings of a husbandman, concerned only about corn and cattle; he had become a statesman, a general, and a prince. No man could have gone through such marvellous events, and experienced such varied emotions,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:9-17

The reasonableness of incongruities. The facts are— 1 . Saul experiences the truth of all that Samuel had told him. 2 . Being met by a company of prophets, Saul, under an inspiration from God, also prophesies. 3 . The people remark on the incongruity of Saul's being among the prophets. 4 . Saul's uncle, being too inquisitive in the matter of Samuel's intercourse with him, is not gratified. The general reader of the Bible is struck with the incongruity between Saul's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:10-11

To the hill. Hebrew, "to Gibeah," his home. He prophesied. Took part in prophetic exercises (see on 1 Samuel 10:5 ). On seeing this, the people of Gibeah, who knew him beforetime ,—Hebrew, "from yesterday and the day before," but equivalent to our phrase "for years,"—asked in surprise, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? What makes him thus act in a manner unlike all our long past experience of him? Is Saul also among the prophets? From this question two things are... read more

1 Samuel 10:9-10. God gave him another heart He immediately fulfilled the last and chief of these signs: for Saul was no sooner gone from Samuel than he felt another spirit coming into him, a spirit of holiness, wisdom, and fortitude, to qualify him for the government of God’s people; which afterward God took from him because of his sins, 1 Samuel 16:14. See Psalms 51:12. He prophesied among them The accomplishment of the two former signs is supposed, and this only is expressed, because... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 10:11

1 Samuel 10:11. Is Saul also among the prophets? A man never instructed, nor exercised in, nor inclined to these matters. It begat wonder in all those who knew his education, that he should, on a sudden, be inspired as those were, who were bred up in the school of the prophets. For, though it was in the power of God alone to bestow the gift of prophecy upon men, yet it would seem that commonly he endowed none with it, but such as were trained up in those studies which might dispose them for... read more
