SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:12

me dije: Los filisteos descenderán ahora contra mí a Gilgal, y yo no he rogado la faz del SEÑOR. Me esforcé, pues, y ofrecí holocausto.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 13:12

Verse 12. I forced myself] It was with great reluctance that I did what I did. In all this
Saul was sincere, but ha was rash, and regardless of the precept of the Lord, which precept or command he most evidently had received, ver. 13. And one part of this precept was, that the Lord should tell him what he should do. Without this information, in an affair under the immediate cognizance of God, he should have taken no step.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. Therefore said I . etc.] That is, within himself: the
Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal ; on a sudden, unprepared for them, especially in a religious way: and I have not made supplication to the Lord ; for his direction and assistance, and for success in the war; which it seems went along with sacrifices, or was implied in them: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering ; it was reluctant to him, it was against his will as well as the command of Samuel, to offer before he came, he suggests; but such were the circumstances he was in, that he was obliged to it; these are the reasons or excuses he made, and some of them have a specious appearance in them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-14 -
Saul broke the order expressly given by Samuel, see ch. 1Sa 10:8, as to what should be done in cases of extremity. Saul offered sacrific without Samuel, and did it himself, though he was neither priest no prophet. When charged with disobedience, he justified himself in what he had done, and gave no sign of repentance for it. He would have thi act of disobedience pass for an instance of his prudence, and as proof of his piety. Men destitute of inward piety, often lay grea stress on the outward performances of religion. Samuel charges Sau with being an enemy to himself. Those that disobey the commandments of God, do foolishly for themselves. Sin is folly, and the greates sinners are the greatest fools. Our disposition to obey or disobey God will often be proved by our behaviour in things which appear small. Me see nothing but Saul's outward act, which seems small; but God saw tha he did this with unbelief and distrust of his providence, with contemp of his authority and justice, and with rebellion against the light of his own conscience. Blessed Saviour, may we never, like Saul, bring ou poor offerings, or fancied peace-offerings, without looking to the precious, thy all-sufficient sacrifice! Thou only, O Lord, canst make or hast made, our peace in the blood of the cross.
