Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:3

Theological / Devotional

The plain of Tabor. Literally, “the oak of Tabor.” Oak trees sometimes have long lives and grow to a great size; such trees made excellent landmarks. The strange gods of Jacob’s household were buried beneath “the oak which was by Shechem” (Gen. 35:4). Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, was buried near Bethel “under an oak” (Gen. 35:8).

Somewhere between Rachel’s tomb and Gibeah was this tree that belonged to a man, or was in a district by the name of, Tabor.
