Commentary on 1 Samuel 11:12

Theological / Devotional

Said unto Samuel. This, together with Saul’s statement in v. 7, indicates that the prophet went with Saul at least to Bezek and assisted in planning the campaign. Probably the armies returned to Bezek before disbanding, greatly elated over their victory, and ready to punish any of those who had opposed Saul’s anointing. His generalship as manifested during the past few days was to them greater confirmation of his title than had been the choice by lot (ch. 10:19-21) or Samuel’s anointing (ch. 10:1).
