1 Samuel 28:19 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me:

"What do these solemn words portend? A gleam of hope when life shall end. Thou and thy sons, tho' slain shall be To-morrow in repose with me. Not in a state of health or pain If Saul with Samuel doth remain; Not in a state of damn'd despair, If loving Jonathan is there."

Tho' these words may only mean, ye shall surely die, without any reference to the state of their souls after death. See 1 Samuel 31:8 on "1 Samuel 31:8"

1 Samuel 28:19

19 Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
