1 Samuel 10:2 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

1 Samuel 10:2

1 Then ^aSamuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, ^band kissed him and said: “Is it not because ^cthe Lord has anointed you commander over ^dHis inheritance?

2 When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by ^aRachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin ^bat Zelzah; and they will say to you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about ^cyou, saying, “What shall I do about my son?” ’

3 Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up ^ato God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

4 And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands.

1 Samuel 10:2

When thou art departed from me to-day—The design of these specific predictions of what should be met with on the way, and the number and minuteness of which would arrest attention, was to confirm Saul's reliance on the prophetic character of Samuel, and lead him to give full credence to what had been revealed to him as the word of God.

Rachel's sepulchre—near Beth-lehem (see on Genesis 35:16).

Zelzah—or Zelah, now Bet-jalah, in the neighborhood of that town.
