撒母耳记上 13:8 CUVS

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 13:8

Seven days; not seven complete days; for that the last day was not finished plainly appears from Samuel’s reproof, which had then been groundless and absurd, and he had falsely charged Saul with breaking God’s command therein, 1 Samuel 13:13. And as Samuel came on the seventh day, and that with intent to sacrifice; so doubtless he came in due time for that work, which was to be done before sun-setting, Exodus 29:38,Exodus 29:39. So Saul waited only six complete days, and part of the seventh,... read more

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

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:8-10

1 Samuel 13:8-10 (with 1 Timothy 1:16 ) King Saul had been expressly charged to await the coming of the prophet to offer an offering in Gilgal. It was a trial of fidelity and obedience. If Saul really believed that the direction was from God, and if he was really anxious to obey God, he would have waited. The seven days ran their course, and there was no sign of Samuel's approach. The king's resolution gave way. He offered the burnt offering, and scarcely had he done so when Samuel came. I.... 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

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

1 Samuel 13:8-10And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed.The impatience of man and the long-suffering of Christ (with 1 Timothy 1:16):--The figure of Samuel is scarcely ever presented to us alone. In childhood it is ever set in contrast with the wicked practices of those sons of Eli. Those young men defiled with sin the sanctuary of God: that child adhered to duty in the very presence of their ill example. In manhood and old age, the prophet is ever... 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
