1 Samuel 28:25 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Went away that night. — The same night they retraced their steps, and returned to Gilboa. “Saul was too hardened in his sin to express any grief or pain, either on his own account or because of the predicted fate of his sons or his people. In stolid desperation he went to meet his destiny. This was the terrible end of one whom the Spirit of God had once taken possession of and turned into another man — of one who had been singularly endowed with Divine gifts to enable him to act as the leader of the people of God.” — O. von Gerlach.
