Commentary on 1 Samuel 12:14

Theological / Devotional

If ye will fear the Lord. Beside themselves with joy over victory, the Israelites had, without thought either for the future or for God’s protective leadership in the past, crowned Saul king. As Adam, by his own free choice, had chosen a way of life contrary to the divine will, so Israel now cast the die that was to affect the subsequent life of the entire nation. Nevertheless God assured the hosts of Israel of divine guidance if they would acknowledge their dependence on Him, accept His counsel, and follow His bidding.
