Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:13-14

1 Samuel 13:13-14 I. The impression which Saul makes upon the average reader, at least at first, is beyond all question a favourable impression. He had many of those qualifications which always go to make a man popular. (1) His personal appearance was such as commands admiration from a large number of people in all generations. He was before all things a soldier. (2) To his personal appearance and martial habits Saul added undoubted courage and resolution. (3) He had higher qualities even than... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:14

1 Samuel 13:14 This expression clung to David, as "The Friend of God" became the title of Abraham. Yet no words have given rise to so many fierce invectives; none perhaps carry on their front more serious difficulties. We must remember in connection with this title and David's apparent unworthiness of it: (1) That it is plain by a reference to the context that the title "after God's own heart" was only comparative, not absolute. By the side of Saul, David was the man who attracted the favour of... read more

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

Ver. 13. Thou hast done foolishly. ] This was to reprove libere et rotunde, as one saith, freely and roundly, plainly and faithfully. But wherein had Saul offended?
