1 Samuele 15:34 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 15:34

Then Samuel went to Ramah
His native place, and where was his usual residence:

and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul;
which was also his birth place, and where was his father's house, and where he had his palace, and kept his court; and took its name from him, to distinguish it from another Gibeah; and so Josephus F23 says it was called Gabathsaoule, and was about thirty furlongs or four miles from Jerusalem.

1 Samuele 15:34 In-Context

32 Poi Samuele disse: "Menatemi qua Agag, re degli Amalekiti". E Agag venne a lui incatenato. E Agag diceva: "Certo, l’amarezza della morte e passata".
33 Samuele gli disse: "Come la tua spada ha privato le donne di figliuoli, così la madre tua sarà privata di figliuoli fra le donne". E Samuele fe’ squartare Agag in presenza dell’Eterno a Ghilgal.
34 Poi Samuele se ne andò a Rama, e Saul salì a casa sua, a Ghibea di Saul.
35 E Samuele, finché visse, non andò più a vedere Saul, perché Samuele faceva cordoglio per Saul; e l’Eterno si pentiva d’aver fatto Saul re d’Israele.
