DISCOURSE: 293THE ISRAELITES’ REJECTION OF SAMUEL REPROVED1 Samuel 12:16-23. Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes. Is it not wheat harvest to-day? I will call unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking you a king. So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 12:1-25

Chapter 12Now in the twelfth chapter Samuel is now sort of stepping down because they have now proclaimed the king. So his career as the judge over Israel has pretty much come to an end, as the reigns of government are now turned over from the theocracy, Samuel the judge speaking for God to the people, now to a monarchy where Saul is ruling. So Samuel is stepping down. This is more or less his farewell speech to the people. He is going to go into pretty much political obscurity after this... read more

1 Samuel 12:2 . I am old and grey-headed. Some think Samuel was now seventy three or eighty years of age; others think he was but sixty three. Usher’s chronology is much embarrassed here. 1 Samuel 12:11 . Bedan, that is, Ben-dan, the son of Dan, or Samson the Danite, as in the Targum, the only judge of that tribe. Samuel omits his name because of his moral errors, or rather because the tongue prefers to shorten long names. 1 Samuel 12:17 . Thunder and rain. Perhaps no man then alive... read more

1 Samuel 12:6-25And Samuel maid unto the people.Samuel’s dealings with the peopleHaving vindicated himself (in the first five verses of this chapter), Samuel now proceeds to his second point, and takes the people in hand. But before proceeding to close quarters with them, he gives a brief review of the history of the nation, in order to bring out the precise relation in which they stood to God, and the duty resulting from that relation (1 Samuel 12:6-12).1. First, he brings out the fundamental... read more

1 Samuel 12:13-25Now, therefore, behold the king whom ye have chosen.Samuel’s farewell addressI. One could hardly fail to note what is here taught respecting the condition of true prosperity. Samuel plainly tells people that, in gaining their desire, they had not made sure of blessing. It still remained that they must fear and serve the Lord. Refusing to do this, His hand would be against them. In early times, when man was in his childhood, it was needful that God should make Himself and His... read more

1 Samuel 12:20-22And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not.Danger or despondencyIt is, I believe, no very unusual thing, however unwilling we may be to avow it, for persons to give way to a kind of despair, when they are called on to repent of their sins. They say to themselves, “It is too late now: it is no use pretending to keep the commandments, after so many years of transgression.” And what is very remarkable, men change all at once into this method of excusing themselves, from one the... read more

1 Samuel 12:21Turn ye not aside. Points of departureSamuel assumes that the true path was clear before Israel; it knew its calling and destiny. To love God alone and to serve Him was the simple royal pathway. And Samuel here reminds the people that the imminent danger was not that they would execute a right-about and go back to Egypt, but that they should turn aside. So the grand path of life is clearly discovered to us. And our great danger is not that we should suddenly wheel about, but that... read more

1Sa 12:20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart; Ver. 20. Fear not, ] i.e., Despair not, cast not away your confidence: they that go down into this pit cannot hope for God’s truth. Isa 38:18 It is a kind of taking away the Almighty, to limit his boundless mercy; despair is a high point of atheism. Yet turn not aside. ] As the devil, that old manslayer, would have it,... read more

1Sa 12:21 And turn ye not aside: for [then should ye go] after vain [things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are] vain. Ver. 21. And turn ye not aside. ] To idols, or other of the devil’s anodynes, as music, merry company, multiplicity of worldly business, or the like. This is but to imitate the wounded deer, which frisketh about, but hath the deadly arrow sticking in his side. read more
