1 Samuel 10:26

Compare all

24 And Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him ^awhom the Lord has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” So all the people shouted and said, ^b“Long live the king!”

25 Then Samuel explained to the people ^athe behavior of royalty, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

26 And Saul also went home ^ato Gibeah; and valiant men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.

27 ^aBut some ^brebels said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him, ^cand brought him no presents. But he¹ held his peace.

1 Samuel 10:26

A band of men - Not a military band, as I imagine, but some secret friends, or companions, who were personally attached to him. Others think that all the men fit to bear arms are intended; but this seems inconsistent with the life that Saul led for some time afterwards; for he appears to have gone into his agricultural concerns, and waited for a call from the Divine providence. See I Samuel 11:5.
