SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:9
Entonces dijo Saśl: Traedme holocausto y sacrificios pacíficos. Y ofreció el holocausto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:9
Verse 9. And he offered the burnt-offering.] This was most perfectly unconstitutional; he had no authority to offer, or cause to be offered, any of the Lord's sacrifices.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And Saul said , etc.] Being impatient, and seeing the people deserting him apace, and unwilling to engage in a battle without first sacrificing to God, and imploring his help and assistance: bring hither a burnt offering to me ; that is, a creature for a burnt offering, a bullock, sheep, goat, or lamb: and peace offerings ; which also were either of the herd, or of the flock: and he offered the burnt offering ; either he himself, or by a priest. In this unsettled time, while the tabernacle, altar, and ark, were at different places, and not yet fixed, it is thought that such who were not priests might offer, and that in high places, and where the tabernacle and altar were not.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-14 - Saul broke the order expressly given by Samuel, see ch. 1Sa 10:8, as to what should be done in cases of extremity. Saul offered sacrific without Samuel, and did it himself, though he was neither priest no prophet. When charged with disobedience, he justified himself in what he had done, and gave no sign of repentance for it. He would have thi act of disobedience pass for an instance of his prudence, and as proof of his piety. Men destitute of inward piety, often lay grea stress on the outward performances of religion. Samuel charges Sau with being an enemy to himself. Those that disobey the commandments of God, do foolishly for themselves. Sin is folly, and the greates sinners are the greatest fools. Our disposition to obey or disobey God will often be proved by our behaviour in things which appear small. Me see nothing but Saul's outward act, which seems small; but God saw tha he did this with unbelief and distrust of his providence, with contemp of his authority and justice, and with rebellion against the light of his own conscience. Blessed Saviour, may we never, like Saul, bring ou poor offerings, or fancied peace-offerings, without looking to the precious, thy all-sufficient sacrifice! Thou only, O Lord, canst make or hast made, our peace in the blood of the cross.
