On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This account of Saul's death is the same with that which we had, 1 Sam. xxxi. We need not repeat the exposition of it. Princes sin and the people suffer for it.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And inquired not of the Lord--He had done so in form (1Sa 28:6), but not in the spirit of a humble penitent, nor with the believing confidence of a sincere worshipper. His enquiry was, in fact, a mere mockery, and his total want of all right religious impressions was manifested by his rushing from God to a wretched impostor in the service of the devil [1Sa 28:7].

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Inquired not - He did in some sort, but not in a right manner, not humbly and penitently, not diligently and importunately, not patiently and perseveringly. Nor 'till he was brought to the last extremity. And then it was too late.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

Saul slew himself, and yet it is said, God slew him. What is done by wicked hands is yet done by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God. Those that abandon themselves to the devil shall be abandoned to him; so shall their doom be.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
