1 Samuel 10:7

7 Let it be, when these signs are come to you, that you do as occasion shall serve you; for God is with you.

1 Samuel 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 10:7

And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee
And are all fulfilled, especially the last:

that thou do as occasion shall serve thee:
as his circumstances would require, and as he in his great wisdom and prudence, with which he should now be furnished, would see necessary to prepare for his taking upon him the kingdom he was anointed to, and would be in a little time openly chosen to, and invested with. Some understand this of royal ornaments befitting a king, or of preparing arms for the defence of the kingdom:

for God is with thee;
or the Word of the Lord is thy help, as the Targum, and therefore he need not fear engaging in any enterprise that might be for the glory of God, and good of the kingdom.

1 Samuel 10:7 In-Context

5 After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Pelishtim: and it shall happen, when you are come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying:

6 and the Spirit of the LORD will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.

7 Let it be, when these signs are come to you, that you do as occasion shall serve you; for God is with you.

8 You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shall you wait, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do.

9 It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Shemu'el, God gave him another heart: and all those signs happened that day.
