1 Samuel 10:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 10:12

And one of the same place answered, and said
One of the same city, and in the same company, that expressed their admiration at what was come to Saul, and at what he did, and wondering how he came into such company, and to have such a gift, who was of so mean an education:

but who is their father? the father of the prophets;
their fathers were not prophets, no more than Saul's was; their Father that taught them is the Lord, and he was able to teach Saul, and bestow on him the gift of prophecy, as well as on them; and so the Targum, who is their master or teacher; for though they might have an undermaster or teacher, as Samuel, or another prophet, yet their chief teacher was God; who could and did give men the gift of prophecy, and even in the highest sense, who had neither prophets for their fathers, nor were indeed trained up in any of the schools of the prophets, which was the case of Amos:

therefore it became a proverb, is Saul also among the prophets?
that when a person of a mean parentage, and of a low life and education, was raised up to any degree of dignity in sacred and civil things, they used to apply this proverbial expression to him, or speak of him in this manner, is Saul among the prophets?

1 Samuel 10:12 In-Context

10 Cuando Saúl y su siervo llegaron a Guibeá, vieron a un grupo de profetas que se les acercaba. Entonces el Espíritu de Dios vino poderosamente sobre Saúl, y él también comenzó a profetizar.
11 Cuando los que conocían a Saúl se enteraron de lo sucedido, exclamaron: «¿Qué? ¿Hasta Saúl es profeta? ¿Cómo se convirtió el hijo de Cis en profeta?».
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.
