1 Samuel 12:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 12:1

And Samuel said unto all Israel
When assembled at Gilgal, after they had recognized Saul as their king, and he was established in the kingdom, and while in the midst of their mirth and joy:

behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye have said unto
me;
respecting the affair of a king, to which it must be limited, as appears by what follows; otherwise it is possible, in some things they might apply to him about, he did not think fit to hearken to them, and grant their request, or speak for them:

and have made a king over you;
that is, had by the direction and appointment of God chosen one by lot, anointed and declared him king; for it was the Lord alone, that, properly speaking, made him a king.

1 Samuel 12:1 In-Context

1 Samuel disse a todo o Israel: “Atendi a tudo o que vocĂȘs me pediram e estabeleci um rei para vocĂȘs.
2 Agora vocĂȘs tĂȘm um rei que os governarĂĄ. Quanto a mim, estou velho e de cabelos brancos, e meus filhos estĂŁo aqui com vocĂȘs. Tenho vivido diante de vocĂȘs desde a minha juventude atĂ© agora.
3 Aqui estou. Se tomei um boi ou um jumento de alguĂ©m, ou se explorei ou oprimi alguĂ©m, ou se das mĂŁos de alguĂ©m aceitei suborno, fechando os olhos para a sua culpa, testemunhem contra mim na presença do SENHOR e do seu ungido. Se alguma dessas coisas pratiquei, eu farei restituição”.
4 E responderam: “Tu nĂŁo nos exploraste nem nos oprimiste. Tu nĂŁo tiraste coisa alguma das mĂŁos de ninguĂ©m”.
5 Samuel lhes disse: “O SENHOR Ă© testemunha diante de vocĂȘs, como tambĂ©m o seu ungido Ă© hoje testemunha, de que vocĂȘs nĂŁo encontraram culpa alguma em minhas mĂŁos”.E disseram: “Ele Ă© testemunha”.
