1 Samuel 15:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 15:1

Samuel also said unto Saul
When and where he said to him what follows, it is not easy to determine, perhaps at Gilgal, where they after met again:

the Lord sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over
Israel;
that is, he gave him orders to anoint him king of Israel, otherwise Saul was in providence sent to Samuel to be anointed, and not Samuel to Saul:

now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord;
for so great a favour, and such high honour he had conferred on him, laid him under great obligation to obey the commands of the Lord; and whereas he had been deficient in one instance before, for which he had been reproved, he suggests, that now he should take care to observe and do, particularly and punctually, what should be enjoined him.

1 Samuel 15:1 In-Context

1 Samuel disse a Saul: “Eu sou aquele a quem o SENHOR enviou para ungi-lo como rei de Israel, o povo dele; por isso escute agora a mensagem do SENHOR.
2 Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos: ‘Castigarei os amalequitas pelo que fizeram a Israel, atacando-o quando saía do Egito.
3 Agora vão, ataquem os amalequitas e consagrem ao SENHOR para destruição tudo o que lhes pertence. Não os poupem; matem homens, mulheres, crianças, recém-nascidos, bois, ovelhas, camelos e jumentos’.”
4 Então convocou Saul os homens e os reuniu em Telaim: duzentos mil soldados de infantaria e dez mil homens de Judá.
5 Saul foi à cidade de Amaleque e armou uma emboscada no vale.
