1 Samuel 15:13 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 15:13

11 ^a“I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has ^bturned back from following Me, ^cand has not performed My commandments.” And it ^dgrieved Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord all night.

12 So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, “Saul went to ^aCarmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal.”

13 Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, ^a“Blessed are you of the Lord! I have performed the commandment of the Lord.”

14 But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?”

15 And Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; ^afor the people spared the best of the sheep and the oxen, to sacrifice to the Lord your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.”

16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Be quiet! And I will tell you what the Lord said to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak on.”

17 So Samuel said, ^a“When you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of Israel? And did not the Lord anoint you king over Israel?
