1 Samuel 10:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 10:9

And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from
Samuel
When he had taken his leave of him, and set forward on his journey:

God gave him another heart;
not in a moral or spiritual sense, not a new heart, and a new spirit, as in conversion, but in a civil sense, a right heart, a heart fit for government; filled with wisdom and prudence to rule a people; with courage and magnanimity to protect and defend them against their enemies, and fight for them; a heart not taken up with the affairs of husbandry, with care for his father's asses, and looking after his herds, but filled with concern for the civil welfare of Israel, and with schemes and contrivances for their good, and with warm resolutions to deliver them out of the hands of their enemies:

and all these signs came to pass that day;
the two first, which are not particularly mentioned as fulfilled, being more private, as finding two men at Rachel's sepulchre, and meeting with three others going to Bethel, which came to pass just as they were described; and the third, which was more public, and gave Saul more reverence and respect among the people, is next particularly observed.

1 Samuel 10:9 In-Context

7 Cuando se cumplan estas señales que has recibido, podrás hacer todo lo que esté a tu alcance, pues Dios estará contigo.

8 »Baja luego a Guilgal antes que yo. Allí me reuniré contigo para ofrecer holocaustos y sacrificios de comunión, y cuando llegue, te diré lo que tienes que hacer. Pero tú debes esperarme siete días.

9 Cuando Saúl se dio vuelta para alejarse de Samuel, Dios le cambió el corazón, y ese mismo día se cumplieron todas esas señales.

10 En efecto, al llegar Saúl y su criado a Guibeá, un grupo de profetas les salió al encuentro. Entonces el Espíritu de Dios vino con poder sobre Saúl, quien cayó en trance profético junto con ellos.

11 Los que desde antes lo conocían, al verlo profetizar junto con los profetas se preguntaban unos a otros:—¿Qué le pasa a Saúl hijo de Quis? ¿Acaso él también es uno de los profetas?
