Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

10:9-16 The signs Samuel had given Saul, came to pass punctually; he found that God had given him another heart, another disposition of mind. Yet let not an outward show of devotion, and a sudden change for the present, be too much relied on; Saul among the prophets was Saul still. His being anointed was kept private. He leaves it to God to carry on his own work by Samuel, and sits still, to see how the matter will fall.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

12. But who is their father?—The Septuagint reads, "Who is his father?" referring to Saul the son of Kish.
