Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: 1Sa 10:10 - Prophesied

The accomplishment of the two former signs is supposed, and this only is expressed, because this was more eminent than the former; the other were only transient acts, which passed in private between two or three persons meeting together; but this was a more permanent and notorious sign, done in a more solemn manner, and before many witnesses.

JFB: 1Sa 10:9-11 - when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart

Influenced by the words of Samuel, as well as by the accomplishment of these signs, Saul's reluctance to undertake the onerous office was overcome. The fulfilment of the two first signs [1Sa 10:7-8] is passed over, but the third is specially described. The spectacle of a man, though more fit to look after his father's cattle than to take part in the sacred exercises of the young prophets--a man without any previous instruction, or any known taste, entering with ardor into the spirit, and skilfully accompanying the melodies of the sacred band, was so extraordinary a phenomenon, that it gave rise to the proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" (see 1Sa 19:24). The prophetic spirit had come upon him; and to Saul it was as personal and experimental an evidence of the truth of God's word that had been spoken to him, as converts to Christianity have in themselves from the sanctifying power of the Gospel.

Clarke: 1Sa 10:10 - Behold, a company of prophets

Behold, a company of prophets - See on 1Sa 10:5 (note), etc.

Defender: 1Sa 10:10 - company of prophets

This "company of prophets" was probably the beginning of what later came to be known as the "school of the prophets" (actually this term is not found in Scripture, though there are several references to what seems to be an organized body of "sons of the prophets" - 2Ki 2:15). These men - presumably first organized and trained by Samuel - seem to have had a ministry of music (1Sa 10:5), as well as prophesying (receiving and conveying divine messages to the people). The New Testament gift of prophecy was important also in the early church, but ceased with the completion of the Scriptures when it was no longer needed."

TSK: 1Sa 10:10 - they came

Poole: 1Sa 10:10

Then the accomplishment of the two former signs is supposed, and this only of the third is expressed, because this was more eminent and public than the former: the other were only transient acts, which passed in private between two or three persons meeting together, and passing by one another; but this was a more permanent and more notorious sign, done in a more solemn manner, and before many and very considerable witnesses.

Gill: 1Sa 10:10 - When they came thither to the hill // behold, a company of prophets met him // and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied among them

When they came thither to the hill,.... Or, to Gibeah, as the Targum, and so Josephus ^e:

behold, a company of prophets met him; as foretold, 1Sa 10:5,

and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he prophesied among them; the spirit of prophecy, as the Targum, and he sung praises among them; he joined with them in their psalmody, and performed it as regularly as if he had been brought up with them. The Jews say ^f he prophesied of the world to come, of Gog and Magog, and of the rewards of the righteous, and of the punishment of the wicked.
