1 Samuel 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 10:14

And Saul's uncle said unto him, and to his servant, whither
went ye?
&c.] Since they had been absent so long a time. This was his father's brother, as the Targum, and so Aquila; whose name was Ner, the father of Abner, ( 1 Samuel 14:50 1 Samuel 14:51 ) who met with him at the high place, or found him in the city, in his father's house it may be. Josephus ^F7 says, Saul went into the house of his kinsman Abner, whom he loved above all his relations, and that it was he that discoursed with Saul, and asked him, the questions before and after related:

and he said, to seek the asses:
he first observes the end of their going, the business they went upon, in which not succeeding, then he answers more directly to the question:

and when we saw that [they were] nowhere;
could not see them, nor find them any where, or hear of them where they went:

we came to Samuel;
at Ramah, to inquire of him, if he could direct us which way to go, and what methods to take, to find the asses.

1 Samuel 10:14 In-Context

12 Además, uno de los que estaban allí dijo: «¿Cualquiera puede convertirse en profeta, sin importar quien sea su padre?»
. Este es el origen del dicho: «¿Hasta Saúl es profeta?».

13 Cuando Saúl terminó de profetizar, subió al lugar de adoración.

14 —¿Dónde han estado? —les preguntó el tío de Saúl a él y a su siervo.
—Estábamos buscando a los burros —le respondió Saúl—, pero no pudimos encontrarlos. Así que acudimos a Samuel para preguntarle dónde estaban.

15 —¡Ah! ¿Y qué dijo? —le preguntó su tío.

16 —Nos dijo que ya habían encontrado los burros —contestó Saúl.
Pero Saúl no le contó a su tío lo que Samuel había dicho acerca del reino.
