1 Samuele 15:34 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 15:34

Then Samuel went to Ramah
His native place, and where was his usual residence:

and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul;
which was also his birth place, and where was his father's house, and where he had his palace, and kept his court; and took its name from him, to distinguish it from another Gibeah; and so Josephus ^F23 says it was called Gabathsaoule, and was about thirty furlongs or four miles from Jerusalem.

1 Samuele 15:34 In-Context

32 Poi Samuele disse: Menatemi qua Agag, re di Amalec; ed Agag se ne andò a lui con dilicatezze. Ed Agag diceva: Certo l’amaritudine della morte è passata.

33 Ma Samuele gli disse: Siccome la tua spada ha orbate le donne di figliuoli, così sarà tua madre orbata di figliuoli fra le donne. E Samuele fece squartare Agag nel cospetto del Signore, in Ghilgal.

34 Poi Samuele se ne andò in Rama. E Saulle salì a casa sua in Ghibea di Saulle.

35 E Samuele non vide più Saulle, fino al giorno della sua morte; benchè Samuele facesse cordoglio di Saulle; ma il Signore s’era pentito d’aver costituito Saulle re sopra Israele.
