Context

Samuel’s Signs Fulfilled

¹⁴Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”¹⁵“Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say to you?”

Summary

In this verse, Samuel is addressing the people of Israel after Saul has been anointed as king. He reassures them that even though they have rejected God's rule over them by asking for a king, they should not be afraid because God has chosen Saul to be their leader. Samuel reminds them of the importance of serving the Lord with all their hearts and warns them that if they and their king follow God faithfully, they will prosper, but if they rebel against God, they will face His judgment.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And Saul's uncle said, &c. l On hearing he had been with Samuel, and perceiving so great an alteration in Saul, perhaps he began to suspect something about the kingdom; it being what everyone was talking of, and expecting every day to hear from Samuel who should be king, according to the Lord's appointment: tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you; the earnestness with which he put this question seems to confirm the above conjecture.
