1 Samuel 13:12

Listen to 1 Samuel 13:12
12 AsĂ­ que dije: “¡Los filisteos estĂĄn listos para marchar contra nosotros en Gilgal, y yo ni siquiera he pedido ayuda al Señor
!”. De manera que me vi obligado a ofrecer yo mismo la ofrenda quemada antes de que tĂș llegaras.

1 Samuel 13:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 13:12

Therefore said I.
&c.] That is, within himself:

the Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal;
on a sudden, unprepared for them, especially in a religious way:

and I have not made supplication to the Lord;
for his direction and assistance, and for success in the war; which it seems went along with sacrifices, or was implied in them:

I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering;
it was reluctant to him, it was against his will as well as the command of Samuel, to offer before he came, he suggests; but such were the circumstances he was in, that he was obliged to it; these are the reasons or excuses he made, and some of them have a specious appearance in them.

1 Samuel 13:12 In-Context

10 Precisamente cuando SaĂșl terminaba de sacrificar la ofrenda quemada, llegĂł Samuel. SaĂșl saliĂł a recibirlo,
11 pero Samuel preguntĂł:
—¿QuĂ© has hecho?
SaĂșl le contestĂł:
—Vi que mis hombres me abandonaban, y que tĂș no llegabas cuando prometiste, y que los filisteos ya estĂĄn en Micmas, listos para la batalla.
12 AsĂ­ que dije: “¡Los filisteos estĂĄn listos para marchar contra nosotros en Gilgal, y yo ni siquiera he pedido ayuda al Señor
!”. De manera que me vi obligado a ofrecer yo mismo la ofrenda quemada antes de que tĂș llegaras.
13 —¡QuĂ© tonterĂ­a! —exclamĂł Samuel—. No obedeciste al mandato que te dio el Señor
tu Dios. Si lo hubieras obedecido, el Señor
habrĂ­a establecido tu reinado sobre Israel para siempre.
14 Pero ahora tu reino tiene que terminar, porque el Señor
ha buscado a un hombre conforme a su propio corazón. El Señor
ya lo ha nombrado para ser lĂ­der de su pueblo, porque tĂș no obedeciste el mandato del Señor
