1 Samuel 13:12

1 Samuel 13:12 -

I have not made supplication unto Jehovah. Literally, "I have not stroked the face of Jehovah," but used of making him propitious by prayer ( Exodus 32:11 ; Jeremiah 26:19 ). I forced myself. Saul pleads in his justification the imminence of the danger, and perhaps there are few who have faith enough to "stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah" ( Exodus 14:13 ).
