SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:13
Ahora, pues, ved aquí vuestro rey que habéis elegido, el cual pedisteis; ya veis que el SEÑOR ha puesto sobre vosotros rey.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired , etc.] For though God chose their king for them, it was at their request; they chose to have a king, and desired one, and they approved of and consented to, and confirmed the choice he had made, and so it was in effect their own: and, behold, the Lord hath set a king over you ; he gratified them in their desires; though he did not suffer them to make themselves a king, he suffered them to have one, and he gave them one; this power he reserved to himself of setting up and pulling down kings at his pleasure.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-15 - The work of ministers is to reason with people; not only to exhort an direct, but to persuade, to convince men's judgments, and so to gai their wills and affections. Samuel reasons of the righteous acts of the Lord. Those who follow God faithfully, he will enable to continu following him. Disobedience would certainly be the ruin of Israel. We mistake if we think that we can escape God's justice, by trying to shake off his dominion. If we resolve that God shall not rule us, ye he will judge us.
