1 Samuel 13:14 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 13:14

12 then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.”

13 And Samuel said to Saul, ^a“You have done foolishly. ^bYou have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

14 ^aBut now your kingdom shall not continue. ^bThe Lord has sought for Himself a man ^cafter His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have ^dnot kept what the Lord commanded you.”

15 Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people present with him, ^aabout six hundred men.

No Weapons for the Army

16 Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people present with them remained in¹ Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
