1 Samuel 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 10:13

And when he had made an end of prophesying
For, as Procopius Gazaeus observes, he had not the gift of prophecy always; it did not continue with him, but, like that of the seventy elders in the times of Moses, it was designed to make him respectable among the people, and to be taken notice of as a person that God had honoured with a peculiar gift, that so, when he should be chosen king, they would the more readily receive him:

he came to the high place;
to return thanks to God for the gift bestowed on him, and for that high honour and dignity he was raised unto, of which he had private knowledge; and to pray God to fit him more and more for government, and to, assist him in it, and help him to discharge his office in a wise and faithful manner.

1 Samuel 10:13 In-Context

11 Tous ceux qui l'avaient connu auparavant virent qu'il prophétisait avec les prophètes, et l'on se disait l'un à l'autre dans le peuple: Qu'est-il arrivé au fils de Kis? Saül est-il aussi parmi les prophètes?
12 Quelqu'un de Guibea répondit: Et qui est leur père? -De là le proverbe: Saül est-il aussi parmi les prophètes?
13 Lorsqu'il eut fini de prophétiser, il se rendit au haut lieu.
14 L'oncle de Saül dit à Saül et à son serviteur: Où êtes-vous allés? Saül répondit: Chercher les ânesses; mais nous ne les avons pas aperçues, et nous sommes allés vers Samuel.
15 L'oncle de Saül reprit: Raconte-moi donc ce que vous a dit Samuel.
