Context Summary

1 Samuel 10:14-27 - The People Have Their Desire

Samuel dealt faithfully with the people, reminding them once more of their guilty mistake in demanding a king; and indeed they came to rue their choice. But as they would have it, so it was ordered. We may well ask God not to give us what we desire so earnestly, except as it accords with His purposes of love and wisdom. We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. Sometimes we know His will, at other times we have to confide in it blindly.

Saul's modesty was very commendable. There were many beautiful traits in his character in those early days, but, as we shall see, all the music was finally silenced when that terrible monster jealousy stole into his heart. Among other evidences of a naturally noble disposition was his determination not to heed the detracting voices which challenged his elevation to the throne. Note the r.v. margin of 1 Samuel 10:27 -"he was as though he were deaf." It was both wise and magnanimous. So for us all. When we are sure that we are in the line of God's purpose, and sincerely desire to do His will, we may be deaf to all other voices. "Fret not thyself because of evil-doers!" See Psalms 37:1-40.
