1 Samuel 28:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 28:16

Then said Samuel, wherefore then dost thou, ask of me
Whom thou knowest to have been a prophet of the Lord, and therefore can say nothing more or less than what comes from him, and is according to his will, if anything at all; the "devil" representing Samuel, whom Saul had called for, and reasons in such language as might be thought to be his own, though sometimes he betrays himself:

seeing the Lord is departed from thee;
as Saul himself owned: to which he adds,

and is become thine enemy;
to make his case appear still more desperate; for his whole view is to lead him to despair, which shows what sort of spirit he was: though some understand this as spoken of David, and read the words, and "he is with thine enemy" F9; is on his side, and favours his cause; so the Targum,

``and he is for the help of a man, whose enmity thou sharest in;''

or who is at enmity with thee, meaning David; but now the true Samuel would never have said this, or suggested it, that David was an enemy to Saul, for he was not.

1 Samuel 28:16 In-Context

14 Perguntou-lhe ele: Como é a sua figura? E disse ela: Vem subindo um ancião, e está envolto numa capa. Entendendo Saul que era Samuel, inclinou-se com o rosto em terra, e lhe fez reverência.
15 Samuel disse a Saul: Por que me inquietaste, fazendo-me subir? Então disse Saul: Estou muito angustiado, porque os filisteus guerreiam contra mim, e Deus se tem desviado de mim, e já não me responde, nem por intermédio dos profetas nem por sonhos; por isso te chamei, para que me faças saber o que hei de fazer.
16 Então disse Samuel: Por que, pois, me perguntas a mim, visto que o Senhor se tem desviado de ti, e se tem feito teu inimigo?
17 O Senhor te fez como por meu intermédio te disse; pois o Senhor rasgou o reino da tua mão, e o deu ao teu próximo, a Davi.
18 Porquanto não deste ouvidos � voz do Senhor, e não executaste e furor da sua ira contra Amaleque, por isso o Senhor te fez hoje isto.
