Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 11:14

Commentary on 1 Samuel 11:12-15

(Read 1 Samuel 11:12-15)

They now honoured Saul whom they had despised; and if an enemy be made a friend, that is more to our advantage than to have him slain. The once despised Saviour will at length be acknowledged by all as the Lord's own anointed king. As yet, upon his mercy-seat, he receives the submission of rebels, and even pleads their cause; but shortly, from his righteous tribunal, he will condemn all who persist in opposing him.
