VERSE 1
- A.M. 2911.  B.C. 1093.  An. Ex. Is. 398.
- reigned one year.  Heb. the son of one year in his reigning.
  This verse is variously interpreted; but probably it only
  means, according to the Hebrew idiom, that, during the first
  year nothing remarkable occurred; but after two years, (or in
  the second year of his reign,) the subsequent events took
  place.

   * Ex 12:5 Mic 6:6 *marg:


VERSE 2 
 - chose.
   * 1Sa 8:11; 14:52
- Michmash.
  Michmash was situated east of Bethaven, or Bethel; and
  Eusebius says it was in his time a considerable place, about
  nine miles from Jerusalem, towards Rama.

   * :5,23; 14:5,31 Isa 10:28
- in Gibeah.
   * 1Sa 10:26; 15:34 Jos 18:28 Jud 19:12 2Sa 21:6 Isa 10:29

VERSE 5 
 - thirty thousand chariots.
  The Philistines had no doubt collected troops in this
  emergency, from all the surrounding nation; but the number of
  chariots is immensely large beyond any example, and wholly
  disproportioned to the number of their cavalry.  It is
  probable, therefore, that for {sheloshim aileph,} "thirty
  thousand," we should read {shelosh aileph,} "three thousand,"
  with the Syriac and Arabic.

- as the sand.
   * Ge 22:17 Jos 11:4 Jud 7:12 2Ch 1:9 Isa 48:19 Jer 15:8 Ro 9:27

   * Pr 19:3 Mt 14:3,4
- hast not kept.
   * 1Sa 15:11,22,28 Ps 50:8-15


VERSE 14 
 - But now.
   * 1Sa 2:30; 15:28
- the Lord.
   * 1Sa 16:1,12 2Sa 7:15,16 Ps 78:70; 89:19,20-37 Ac 13:22
- captain over.
   * 1Sa 9:16 2Sa 5:2 2Ki 20:5 Heb 2:10


VERSE 15 
 - Samuel.
  The LXX. have, "Samuel arose and went away from Gilgal, and
  the remainder of the people went up along with the men of war
  after Samuel from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin."  This is
  probably the true reading; for it does not appear that Samuel
  went to Gibeah, which was Saul's usual residence; and the
  Hebrew copyist, as Dr. Wall observes, seems to have missed a
  line, and added to the sentence concerning Samuel, that which
  ended the sentence concerning Saul.  One MS. instead of
  Samuel, in the beginning of the sentence, reads Saul.

- Zeboim.
   * Ge 14:2 Ne 11:34 Ho 11:8


VERSE 19 
 - there was no.
  It is probable that the Philistines in the former wars had
  carried away all the smiths from Israel.

   * Jud 5:8 2Ki 24:14 Isa 54:16 Jer 24:1
