1 Samuel 14:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:19

And it came to pass, while Saul talked with the priest
With Ahiah about bringing the ark, and inquiring before it:

that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on, and
increased;
the shrieks and cries of those that were beat down and trampled upon, and were bruised and wounded; and indeed the cry of the whole host, being alarmed with the enemy being upon them, or among them; and it seems that not only their motions could be seen, but the noise of them heard at this distance:

and Saul said unto the priest, withdraw thine hand;
from putting on the ephod, or opening the breastplate of Urim and Thummim, or placing the ark in a proper position, to inquire before it, or from lifting up both hands in prayer for direction. Saul by the noise he heard concluded the army of the Philistines was routed, and therefore there was no need to consult the Lord, and he had no leisure for it; no time was to be lost, the advantage was to be taken directly, and the enemy pursued, to complete the victory. The Jews look upon this as a piece of profaneness in Saul, as no doubt it was, and reckon it one of the sins for which his kingdom was not prolonged F15.

1 Samuel 14:19 In-Context

17 Entonces SaĂșl dijo al pueblo que tenĂ­a consigo: Pasad revista, y mirad quiĂ©n haya ido de los nuestros. Y cuando pasaron revista, hallaron que faltaban JonatĂĄn y su paje de armas
18 Y SaĂșl dijo a AhĂ­as: Trae el arca de Dios. Porque el arca de Dios estaba entonces con los hijos de Israel
19 Y aconteciĂł que estando aĂșn hablando SaĂșl con el sacerdote, el alboroto que habĂ­a en el campamento de los filisteos se aumentaba, e iba creciendo en gran manera. Entonces dijo SaĂșl al sacerdote: DetĂ©n tu mano
20 Y juntando SaĂșl todo el pueblo que con Ă©l estaba, vinieron hasta el lugar de la batalla; y he aquĂ­ que la espada de cada uno era vuelta contra su compañero, y la mortandad era grande
21 Y los hebreos que habĂ­an estado con los filisteos de ayer y anteayer, y habĂ­an venido con ellos de los alrededores al campamento, tambiĂ©n Ă©stos se volvieron del lado de los israelitas que estaban con SaĂșl y con JonatĂĄn
