1 Samuel 10:10 NIV

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

(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 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

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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:1-16

Samuel’s prediction about Saul (9:1-10:16)Saul, who became Israel’s first king, originally had no desire for political power and little interest in the spiritual ministry of Samuel. As the son of a wealthy landowner, he was more concerned about the loss of his father’s donkeys, and the worry he might cause his father by being away so long in search of them (9:1-5). This concern led him to seek help from Samuel. He thought that Samuel, with his ability to see visions and make predictions, could... read more

2. The anointing of Saul 9:1-10:16In chapters 9-11 the writer painted Saul as the ideal man to serve as king from the human viewpoint. This pericope (1 Samuel 9:1 to 1 Samuel 10:16) sets forth his personal conduct. [Note: See the series of three articles on Saul by W. Lee Humphries listed in the bibliography of these notes. Especially helpful is, "The Tragedy of King Saul: A Study of the Structure of 1 Samuel 9-31."] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Samuel 10:9-16

God’s enablement of Saul 10:9-16We should probably not interpret the reference to God changing Saul’s heart (1 Samuel 10:9) to mean that at this time Saul experienced personal salvation. This always takes place when a person believes God’s promise, and there is no indication in the context that Saul did that at this time. Probably it means that God gave him a different viewpoint on things since he had received the Holy Spirit. Some interpreters have taken this as Saul’s conversion. [Note: E.g.,... read more
