1 Samuel 10:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

These signs were certain evidences of God's calling of him to the kingdom, because they were all future contingencies, which none but God could infallibly know or foretell. Do as occasion shall serve thee, Heb. do what thy hand findeth to do, i.e. as thou shalt have a call and opportunity. He doth not intend that he should take the kingly government upon him, before his call to it was known to and owned by the people, which had been preposterous and dangerous; but that he should dispose his mind to a readiness of undertaking any public service when necessity required it, and he should be called to his office.

1 Samuel 10:7

7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
