1 Samuel 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 10:17

And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord at
Mizpeh.
] Not that in Gilead, but in the tribe of Benjamin, where the people had been before convened on a certain occasion, ( 1 Samuel 7:5 ) and the people called together could not be every individual of the nation, but the heads and elders of the people, their representatives, and who were summoned by the orders of Samuel; perhaps by an herald making proclamation and cry of the same, as the word signifies; and these were gathered together to the Lord, to have the following affair transacted before him, and under his guidance and direction; the priest perhaps being here with the Urim and Thummim, as Kimchi thinks, and who also conjectures that the ark might be brought hither at this time, the symbol of the divine Presence; though wherever the church and people of God were gathered together in his name, in a solemn manner, there the Lord was.

1 Samuel 10:17 In-Context

15 Y el tío de Saúl dijo: Te ruego que me cuentes qué os dijo Samuel.
16 Y Saúl respondió a su tío: Nos hizo saber claramente que las asnas habían sido halladas. Pero Saúl no le contó acerca del asunto del reino que Samuel le había mencionado.
17 Después Samuel convocó al pueblo delante del SEÑOR en Mizpa;
18 y dijo a los hijos de Israel: Así dice el SEÑOR, Dios de Israel: "Yo saqué a Israel de Egipto, y os libré del poder de los egipcios y del poder de todos los reinos que os oprimían."
19 Pero vosotros habéis rechazado hoy a vuestro Dios, que os libra de todas vuestras calamidades y vuestras angustias, y habéis dicho: "No, sino pon un rey sobre nosotros." Ahora pues, presentaos delante del SEÑOR por vuestras tribus y por vuestras familias.
