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 Quando os que já o conheciam viram-no profetizando com os profetas, perguntaram uns aos outros: “O que aconteceu ao filho de Quis? Saul também está entre os profetas?”
12 Um homem daquele lugar respondeu: “E quem é o pai deles?” De modo que isto se tornou um ditado: “Saul também está entre os profetas?”
13 Depois que Saul parou de profetizar, foi para o altar do monte.
14 Então o tio de Saul perguntou a ele e ao seu servo: “Aonde vocês foram?”Ele respondeu: “Procurar as jumentas. Quando, porém, vimos que não seriam encontradas, fomos falar com Samuel”.
15 “O que Samuel disse a vocês?”, perguntou o tio.
