He reproves the people of ingratitude 16. He terrifies them with thunder in harvest time 20. he comforts them in God's mercy Then Samuel said to the people This phrase introduces the prophet Samuel as the speaker, addressing the Israelites. Samuel, whose name in Hebrew (שְׁמוּאֵל, Shemuel) means "heard by God," serves as a pivotal figure in Israel's history, bridging the period of the judges and the establishment of the monarchy. His role as a prophet, priest, and judge underscores the theocratic leadership God provided to Israel. Samuel's address to the people is a reminder of his divinely appointed authority and his role as God's mouthpiece. The LORD is the One who appointed Moses and Aaron and brought your fathers up from the land of Egypt The Exodus is mentioned in this and in many places in these ancient records of the people as the great call of love by which the Eternal assumed the sovereignty over Israel. The Talmud here comments: "It is the Lord that made Moses and Aaron" (1Samuel 12:6); and it is said (1Samuel 12:11), "And the Lord sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel." Scripture balances in the same scale the three least important with the three most important personages, in order to teach thee that Jerrubbaal in his generation was like Moses in his, Bedan (said to be Samson) like Aaron, and Jephthah like Samuel. Hence the most insignificant man, if appointed a ruler of the congregation, has the same authority as the most important personage.--Treatise Rosh-Hashanah, fol. 25, Colossians 2. Verse 6. - It is Jehovah that, etc. In the Hebrew Jehovah is put absolutely, without any government, and the Septuagint rightly supplies is witness. Samuel had said, "Jehovah is witness against you;" the people in answer shouted the last word, "Witness" (see end of ver. 5, where He is is supplied). Then Samuel solemnly repeats Jehovah s name, saying, "Even Jehovah that advanced Moses and Aaron." This rapid interchange of words brings the whole scene vividly before us, whereas nothing could be tamer than the A.V. Out of the land of Egypt. Samuel begins with this as the first act of Jehovah as Israel's King; for the theocracy began with the deliverance from Egypt.Parallel Commentaries ...
