SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:4
Los cuales, luego que te hayan saludado, te darán dos panes, los que tomarás de manos de ellos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 10:4
Verse 4. And they will salute thee] µwll ûl wlaw veshaalu lecha leshalom, "And they will inquire of thee concerning peace," i.e., welfare. In the East, if this salutation be given, then the person or persons giving it may be reckoned friends; if the others return it, then there is friendship on both sides. Salaam alicum, Peace to you! is the mode of compellation: Alicum essalaam, To you be peace! is the return. If you give the former and receive not the latter, you may expect hostility. The meaning of the prophet is, When you come to the plain of Tabor, ye shall meet three men; you need not be afraid of them, for they are friends; and they will show this friendship, not only by bidding you good speed, but by giving you two loaves of bread, a provision which you will need for the remaining part of your journey.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. And they will salute thee , etc.] Not as king, of which they knew nothing, but in a common way; and though a stranger and unknown to them, yet finding their hearts disposed and affected towards him, would inquire of his welfare, and wish him all happiness, peace, and prosperity: and give thee two [loaves] of bread ; which was pretty much that they should give him two out of three, and leave but one for themselves, and especially if they were going to sacrifice; but perhaps they knew they could buy more bread at Bethel, and so were disposed to give two of their loaves to Saul, one for himself and another for his servant; though Kimchi thinks that these are not the same before called loaves; and indeed the word loaves is not in the text, but cakes of bread, which were lesser than loaves, and which they carried for their own use, besides three loaves of bread: which thou shall receive of their hands ; being sent out by Samuel early that morning without eating any food, and having travelled some miles, might become weary and faint, and which the three men might discern, and so had compassion on them, and relieved them; and Saul was not to refuse the offer of them, but take them at their hands, though he was anointed to be king; and this was to teach him humility, and to be kind to the poor and needy, and relieve them when he was in more elevated circumstances. All these actions also were contingent, and when they came to pass, as they did, must be still more confirming than the former sign.
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.
