F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:13-23

Left in the Spoilers’ Hands 1 Samuel 13:13-23 Sternly and sorrowfully the old prophet pronounced the sentence of Saul’s deposition, and suggested that already God had sought and found another prince for his people. In Jesse’s home was found the stripling who in after-years would say: “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage and He shall strengthen thy heart: wait, I say, on the Lord,” Psalms 27:14 . Wait thou thy Lord’s leisure! Bid thy heart stay its feverish beating, and thy pulse subside! To... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 13:1-23

There is some difficulty concerning the opening sentences of this chapter. Some words seem to be omitted, which make it difficult to place the events recorded in their chronological setting. The Authorized Version reads, "Saul reigned one year, and when he had reigned two years. . . ." The Revised Version reads, "Saul was (thirty) years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel." The American Revision reads, "Saul was (forty) years old when he began to reign, and he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Samuel 13:15-18

Events Subsequent To Saul’s Disobedience (1 Samuel 13:15-18 ). We should note that God in His mercy did not desert Israel. He would at this time still give them the means of driving out the Philistines for the time being, but in the event it would only be to a limited extent because of the failures of Saul. Here we have described for us the initial movements towards that end. 1 Samuel 13:15 ‘ And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that... read more

Unto Gibeah of Benjamin; whither Saul also followed him, as appears from the next verse; either because it was better fortified than Gilgal; or because he expected a greater increase of his army there, it being in his own tribe, and nearer the heart of his kingdom; or because he hoped for Samuel’s assistance there. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:1-23

1 Samuel 13:1. A literal rendering of the Hebrew text in this verse would stand thus—Saul was years old when he began to reign, and he reigned, and two years over Israel. The Hebrew numerals have evidently fallen out, and nearly all commentators agree that this verse, according to the custom in the history of the kings (2 Samuel 2:10; 2 Samuel 5:4; 1 Kings 14:21; 1 Kings 22:42; 2 Kings 8:26) originally gave the age at which Saul began to reign and the number of years that his reign lasted.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:1-23

Chapter 13Now Saul reigned for one year over Israel; and in the second year of his reign, He chose three thousand men of Israel; and he took two thousand under his command in Michmash and a thousand were given to Jonathan under his command the son of Saul in Gibeah: and the rest of the people he sent to their own tents. And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 13:1-23

1 Samuel 13:1-2 . One year two years. The Seventy have not translated this verse. Something is wanting to fill up the sense; and it is supposed to be, that Saul was so many years of age when he began to reign over Israel, (probably about fifty) and when he had reigned two years, Saul chose three thousand guards, as was the case with other kings. These were disciplined for war, as well as to attend the king. 1 Samuel 13:5 . Thirty thousand chariots. The Syriac and Arabic versions read... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:15

1Sa 13:15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present with him, about six hundred men. Ver. 15. Unto Gibeah of Benjamin. ] Whither also went Saul and his forces: either with Samuel, or soon after him. For though Samuel had sharply reproved and threatened Saul, yet he would not leave him in that distress. Some think that Samuel therefore went before to Gibeah, where the company of the prophets was, that he might there,... read more
