1 Samuel 10:26 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched. A band of men - Not a military band, as I imagine, but some secret friends, or companions, who were personally attached to him. Others think that all the men fit to bear arms are intended; but this seems inconsistent with the life that Saul led for some time afterwards; for he appears to have gone into his agricultural concerns, and waited for a call from the Divine providence. See 1 Samuel 11:5.
