SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:20

Y Samuel respondió al pueblo: No temáis; vosotros habéis cometido todo este mal; mas con todo eso no os apartéis de en pos del SEÑOR, sino servid al SEÑOR con todo vuestro corazón.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 12:20

Verse 20. Ye have done all this
wickedness] That is, although ye have done all this wickedness: what was past God would pass by, provided they would be obedient in future.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 20. And Samuel said unto the people,
fear not , etc.] Being destroyed by the tempest: ye have done all this wickedness ; in asking a king; that is, though they were guilty of so heinous a sin, yet there were grace and mercy with God, and they should not despair of it, so be it that they did not depart from him, but cordially served him; the Targum is, “ye have been the cause of all this evil;” the storm of thunder and rain; and though they had, he would not have them despond or indulge slavish fear; yet turn not aside from following the Lord ; the worship of the Lord, as the Targum; provided they did not depart from the Lord, and forsake his worship, word, and ordinances, they need not fear utter ruin and destruction, though they had been guilty of this sin: but serve the Lord with all your heart ; if their service of God was kept up, and was hearty and sincere, they might still expect things would go well with them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 16-25 - At Samuel's word,
God sent thunder and rain, at a season of the yea when, in that country, the like was not seen. This was to convince the they had done wickedly in asking a king; not only by its coming at a unusual time, in wheat harvest, and on a clear day, but by the prophet's giving notice of it before. He showed their folly in desirin a king to save them, rather than God, or Samuel; promising themselve more from an arm of flesh, than from the arm of God, or from the powe of prayer. Could their prince command such forces as the prophet coul do by his prayers? It startled them very much. Some will not be brough to see their sins by any gentler methods than storms and thunders. The entreat Samuel to pray for them. Now they see their need of him who shortly before they slighted. Thus many who will not have Christ to reign over them, would yet be glad to have him intercede for them, to turn away the wrath of God. Samuel aims to confirm the people in their religion. Whatever we make a god of, we shall find it deceive us Creatures in their own places are good; but when put in God's place they are vain things. We sin if we restrain prayer, and in particula if we cease praying for the church. They only asked him to pray for them; but he promises to do more, to teach them. He urges that the were bound in gratitude to serve God, considering what great things he had done for them; and that they were bound in interest to serve him considering what he would do against them, if they should still d wickedly. Thus, as a faithful watchman, he gave them warning, and s delivered his own soul. If we consider what great things the Lord hat done for us, especially in the great work of redemption, we can neithe want motive, encouragement, nor assistance in serving him __________________________________________________________________
