SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:13
Entonces Samuel dijo a Saúl: Locamente has hecho; no guardaste el mandamiento del SEÑOR tu Dios, que él te había mandado; porque ahora el SEÑOR hubiera confirmado tu reino sobre Israel para siempre.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And Samuel said to Saul, thou hast done foolishly , etc.] Not by intruding himself into the priest’s office, with that he is not charged, but not waiting the full time till Samuel came; which showed his impatience, disregard to Samuel, and distrust of God; and though he thought he had acted wisely, and taken the proper precautions in his circumstances, yet he acted foolishly; and though a king, Samuel being a prophet of the Lord, and in his name, spared not to tell him so: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee ; by his prophet, that he should wait seven days for his coming, who would then offer sacrifices, and tell him what he should do; and not to keep the commandment of God was acting a foolish part: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever ; that is, for a long time, on his son, and son’s son; and then, according to promise and prophecy, it would come to one of the tribe of Judah; but now seeing he had acted such a part, it should not continue long in his family, no longer than his own life, and quickly come into other hands.
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.
