1 Samuel 15:34,35 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

(34) Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. (35) And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

What is here said of Samuel's coming no more to see Saul, means no more to visit and advise him, or with a message from the Lord. That they met together afterwards, and perhaps more than once, is evident from 1 Samuel 19:24. But it means he came no more to him from the Lord. Saul was rejected in the Lord's will, and his servant had, therefore, no more message for him. Yet Samuel's heart mourned for Saul, and lamented, as every good man doth, when the wicked reject the counsel of God, against their own souls.
