1 Samuel 9:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

A man of God; a prophet, as that phrase is used, 1 Samuel 2:27 Joshua 14:6 Judges 13:6. An honourable man; one of great reputation for his skill and faithfulness. All that he saith cometh surely to pass; his declaration of things secret or future are always certain, and confirmed by the event. Our way that we should go; the course we should take to find the asses. He saith peradventure, because be doubted whether so great a prophet, would seek, or God would grant him, a revelation concerning such mean matters; although sometimes God was pleased herein to condescend to his people, to cut off all pretence or occasion of seeking to witches or heathenish divination. See 1 Kings 14:2 2 Kings 1:3.

6 And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
