Inquired not of the Lord. Object. Saul inquired of the Lord, 1 Samuel 28:6. Answ. He did so, but not in a right manner, not humbly and penitently, not diligently and importunately, not patiently and perseveringly; but when God would not answer him speedily, he gives it over, and goes from God to the devil. Compare 1 Samuel 14:18,19. Such an inconsiderable and trifling inquiry as Saul made, is justly accounted to be no inquiry at all; as they are said not to eat the Lord's supper, 1 Corinthians 11:20, who did eat it in a sinful and irregular manner.
