1 Samuel 10:26 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Saul went home to Gibeah Not being actually inaugurated into his kingdom, he thought fit to retire to his former habitation, and to live privately till he had an occasion to show himself in a more illustrious manner. There went with him a band of men A company, probably, of stout, valiant men, of great resolution, who went as his guard, to afford him safe and honourable conduct to his house, although, as it appears, not to abide with him there, which would not have suited his present circumstances. Whose hearts God had touched Who were moved by a divine influence to do their duty in this instance. Thus the Holy Scriptures teach us to acknowledge God to be the author of all the good that is in us, or done by us.

1 Samuel 10:26

26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
