SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:3
Y como de allí te fueres más adelante, y llegares a la campiña de Tabor, te saldrán al encuentro tres varones que suben a Dios en Bet-el, llevando el uno tres cabritos, y el otro tres tortas de pan, y el tercero un cántaro de vino.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:3
Verse 3. Three men going up to God to Bethel] Jacob's altar was probably there still, Gen. xxviii. 19. However this might be, it was still considered, as its name implies, the house of God; and to it they were now going, to offer sacrifice. The three kids were for sacrifice; the three loaves of bread to be offered probably as a thank-offering; and the bottle or skin full of wine, for a libation. When the blood was poured out before the Lord, then they feasted on the flesh and on the bread; and probably had a sufficiency of the wine left for their own drinking.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. Then shall thou go on forward from thence , etc.] From Zelzah and Rachel’s sepulchre there: and thou shall come to the plain of Tabor ; not that which lay at the bottom of the famous and well known mountain Tabor; for that was in the tribe of Zebulun, at a great distance from hence: but a plain, so called perhaps from the name of the owner of it: and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel : the same with Luz, where Jacob built an altar, and called upon God; and so Elohimbethel here is the same with Elbethel, ( Genesis 35:6,7). Here was an high place as at Ramah, whither in those times, when there was no fixed place for worship, the tabernacle at one place, and the ark at another, the people went up to worship; and they might the rather choose this, because it was a place devoted to the worship and service of God by their father Jacob; so the Targum paraphrases it, ``going up to worship God in Bethel;” so Josephus f199 , they were going thither to pray, and, as it seems by what follows, to sacrifice: one carrying three kids; which were used in sacrifice, and were a pretty heavy load if carried far; though, according to Josephus f200 , it was but one kid: and another carrying three loaves of bread ; for the minchah, the meat offering, or rather bread offering, ( Leviticus 2:4) and another carrying a bottle of wine ; for the drink offering, the fourth part of an hin of wine being required for each kid, ( Numbers 15:5,11).
This bottle, Ben Melech says, was a bottle made of skin, a leathern bottle or bag, or a potter’s vessel or pitcher; the Targum renders it, a flagon of wine.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - The sacred anointing, then used, pointed at the great Messiah, or Anointed One, the King of the church, and High Priest of ou profession, who was anointed with the oil of the Spirit, not be measure, but without measure, and above all the priests and princes of the Jewish church. For Saul's further satisfaction, Samuel gives his some signs which should come to pass the same day. The first place he directs him to, was the sepulchre of one of his ancestors; there he must be reminded of his own mortality, and now that he had a crow before him, must think of his grave, in which all his honour would be laid in the dust. From the time of Samuel there appears to have bee schools, or places where pious young men were brought up in the knowledge of Divine things. Saul should find himself strongly moved to join with them, and should be turned into another man from what he ha been. The Spirit of God changes men, wonderfully transforms them. Saul by praising God in the communion of saints, became another man, but it may be questioned if he became a new man.
