사무엘상 10:22-27 KRV

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 10:26

A band of men - Not a military band, as I imagine, but some secret friends, or companions, who were personally attached to him. Others think that all the men fit to bear arms are intended; but this seems inconsistent with the life that Saul led for some time afterwards; for he appears to have gone into his agricultural concerns, and waited for a call from the Divine providence. See 1 Samuel 11:5 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 10:27

Brought him no presents - They gave him no proofs that they acknowledged either the Divine appointment or his authority. The Arab chiefs are, to this day, when on a march or excursion of any kind, supplied with every necessary by the free-will offerings or presents of the people in the villages or places where they encamp. Saul was now a public character, and had a right to support from the public. These sons of Belial refused to bear their part; they brought him no presents. He marked... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:17-25

Casting the lot in life. The facts are— 1 . Samuel, in calling the people together to exercise their choice, reminds them of their sin. 2 . Proceeding to a choice by lot, Saul is taken. 3 . For reasons secret to himself, Saul is not forthcoming when sought. 4 . By acclamation the people recognise him as their king, and thereupon receive from Samuel instructions relating to the new form of government. During the intercourse of Samuel with Saul the people were waiting for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:22

They inquired of Jehovah further, if the man should yet come thither. More correctly, "Is any one as yet come hither?" The Septuagint and Vulgate translate as if there were an article before "any one" (Hebrew, a man ) , and give, "Is the man coming hither?" But the Hebrew text is the more satisfactory. For the object of the inquiry, made by the Urim and Thummim, was to find Saul, wherever he might be; and the enigmatical way of putting the question, Is any one as yet come? was regarded... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:23-24

And when he stood. This rendering spoils the poetic force of the original, where the rapidity of their action is expressed by three preterites following hard upon one another. The Hebrew is, "And they ran, and took him thence, and he stood forth (see 1 Samuel 12:7 ) among the people, and he was taller," etc. And now Samuel presents him to the multitude as "the chosen of Jehovah," and the people shout their assent by saying, "Let the king live." For this the A.V. puts our English phrase,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:25

The manner. The difficult word already discussed in 1 Samuel 2:13 ; 1 Samuel 8:11 . Here, however, it is not used for rights so exercised as to become wrongs, but in a good sense, for what we should call a constitution. The heathen kings were despots, subject to no higher law, and Samuel, in 1 Samuel 8:11-18 , speaks with merited abhorrence of their violation of the natural rights of their subjects; but under the theocracy the king's power was limited by laws which protected, in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:26-27

Saul did not at once enter upon his duties, but went home to Gibeah, and there went with him, not a band of men , but the host, or the force, i.e. those brave men whose hearts God had touched. Whatever was noble and valiant accompanied him, to take counsel for the nation's good; but the children of Belial, i.e. worthless, good for nothing creatures (see 1 Samuel 1:16 ; 1 Samuel 2:12 ), despised him. In the A.V. the antithesis between the force, the strength and bravery... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:26-27

Sympathy and disparagement. The facts are— 1 . Saul is followed by a band of men brought into sympathy with him by the Spirit of God. 2 . He is despised by a depraved section of the people. 3 . He takes no notice of the disparagement. I. The SIMPLE FACTS GIVEN ARE EXCEEDINGLY NATURAL . For in Israel there were men anxious for a king, and pledged to sustain one; and men, as in all communities, corrupt, unreasonable, prone to disapprove of anything not done solely... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:26-27

Illusive Presages. A mild, clear morning may be followed by a stormy day. A prince may begin to reign with gentleness who afterwards becomes proud, ruthless, impatient, even harsh and bloodthirsty. There are few instances of this in history so pathetic as the case of Saul, who began his reign with every indication of a magnanimous character, yet was soon deteriorated by the possession of power, and made himself and all around him most unhappy. In him we see how good impulses may be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 10:22

Among the stuff - Rather, “the baggage.” The assembly was like a camp, and the baggage (impedimenta) of the whole congregation was probably collected in one place, where the wagons were arranged for protection. read more
