Commentary on 1 Samuel 15:30

Theological / Devotional

That I may worship. To Saul the forms of worship were important only as a means of securing to himself the loyalty of the people. It was his purpose to represent his own policies as originating with God, in order that the people should come to believe that in following him they were doing God’s will. Religion was thus debased to serve the ends of civil power, for Saul purposed to use God as a means to his own ends.
