Commentary on 1 Samuel 15:12

Theological / Devotional

Carmel. Not the Mt. Carmel where Elijah met the prophets of Baal, but a town 7 1/4 mi. (11.6 km.) south by east of Hebron, where David encountered Nabal (ch. 25).

Set him up a place. Here Saul “set up a monument” (RSV) to his victory, and then went on to Gilgal near Jericho, perhaps to redeem the disgrace he had experienced there (ch. 13:11-16).
