"Sanl npjectfd,' Samuel xv., 10-'J:J olden Testi 1 Samuel xr., '22 Commentary. 10. 11. "U rppenteth Me thnt I Imvn set tip Raul to be king, for he Is turned bnik from following Mo and bath not performed Mv rommandments." When the kingdom was given to Haul, both he and the people wpre r-mlnded by Hnmuel thnt If they would only obey the Lord and serve Him in truth nil mlht ho well (ehapter xll., II. 24). But Haul had only reigned two years when he proved disobedient and was told thnt the kingdom would be given to another, even n man after Ood's own heart (chapter xlll., 1, IS. 14). In the plm titer for to-dny another ant of disobedience Is repordpd. which brings matters to- a rrlxls. As to the Lord's repent Ings so often referred to, we mutt remember thnt He never ehnnges His mind, nor Is sorry for anything n does (verse J9- Num. xxlll., 19), but when He comes to a point whpre Ho seems to us to make a new departure, whipji from eternity He knew that He would jut at tbnt point, He Is said to repent. 8eo Acts tr.. IS. 13. "Reset him tip a p!nn." Or, as In It Bam. xvill., lit, a pillar after his own name. It was not. as In phapter xiv.,35, nn altnr into tho Lord, but something to mngnlfy himself. Jesus never magnified Himtelf.but always His Father (John xvil., 4). I'aul dp. termlned that Christ should be magnified In hit body either br life or death (J'iill. I., 2f) IS. "messed be Thou the Lord; I have per formed the eommandmeut of the Lord." When w compare verses 3 and of this ehapter, we wonder how Haul eould snv that he had performed the ootnmnndrunnt. Klther be misunderstood the pommnnd, or pervert ed It, or dcllberntely lied. There is a gen eration that are pure In their own eves, imt whos covemth his slut shall not pros per(Prov. xxx.. 11; xxvill.. l;n. Unless we have heart right with Ood and honetrtly seek only Ills pleneurethe devil will mnko us believe that black Is white (II Thess. II.. 10. 11). 14. "What 'mpnneth tlicn tills bleating of tho sheep In mine enrs and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?" It Is nn old word, but true as Ood Himself, sum your sin will find you out" (Sum. xxxli.. 23). The word was to smite Anuilek and utterly destroy nil that they had (yprse 8). Itend 'sheep nud oxen tell no talcs, but theto were telling that 8:l n I had not obeyel Ood. 15. "The people spared the best nf the heep and of the oxen to sacrifice unto the Lord thy Ood." Under the plen of "(or a good object" Haul seeks to justify tho thing done. That hit heart Is wrong, ami he knowt It, In seen in hit saying that the people nid It, and it Is also seen In his caving, "tho Lord thy Ood." Insf-nd of "the Lord our Ood." Ood wants nothing from the enemy either for sacriltcoor service. iC. "Then Kiimiiel said to Saul, Ht.iy nnd I will tell thee what the Lord hath s'lid to me this night. And ho s.it.l unto blm. Say on." Wo look back to tin. morning when Hnmuol said to Haul. "Sland thou still while tlmt I may shew th"o the word of Ood" (chapter it., 117), but what n con trast! Then it was a uies.iige ot grace, but now one of judgment, til s-rye that us in Samuel's childhood, so now In bis advanced years Ood atill talks with him inthoulght season. 17. "When thou wast little In thine own sight, the Lord anointed theo king over Is rael." Ree chapter lx., 'il, and compare Judges vl., 13. It is good to be and to con tinue little in our own estimation. It Is bettor to soy with Paul, ' I know thnt In me that Is, In my iteeh dwulloth no good tbina" (Horn. vil.. IU).

The reason of this command is seen In Ex. xvil., w-lfi, and the Lord's detenu I nut Ion is in verse H. Hut He is long tulTering, not willing that any should periah, nnd so He suffered tlieui to continue for over 4(H) years turelv nu abundant time for rccntnn-e, but they continued sinners before lo l. l'J. "Wherefirre then didst I lion not obey the voice of Mm Lord'.'" lieing redeemed to Ood by the precious blood of Christ, tho great word for-nil the res' of our life is "willing ami obedient" (Is.i 1., li, ly). He.) Ex. xix., S, A. It it not ourt to ipi "stlon or reason or to put our poustriictlou upon His eommnnds. but simply und cheeritilly to obey. Consider the obedience of the Le'vlles la Lx. xJxii., ati-'J, and seethe commenda. tlou in Mul. 1. 4 i. at). "Vou. I have obeye l the voice of the Lord, and have gone tho way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agng, the king ot Amr.lek." Here lie conies-, s to have snve l the .king, who was certainly in cluded In the detraction, nud yet Insists that ho had obeyed the Lord. It is the old story so commou to-lay of perverting the word ot the Lord (Jer. xiii.. 3ii) nud ol thinking that He does not menu ju-t whnt lie says, but His lunguago is generally llg. urntive or bus notne other meaning. iii. "But the people took of the spoil to sacrifice unto the Lord thy Ood." He still puts some blumo upon the people, but now acknowledges thut the sheep nnd oxen .should have henu utterly destroyed. An opinion of our own ns to how the Lord wuuls things done is very dangerous, in, commands are very plainly Muted (Pent, xxvil., H; Hub. II., 2), and our part is pr.riipt. Implicit and UliiUPstlotiiug obedience. His thoughts and wuyj are us fur uIhivd nud Hotter thnn oursus beuvcu thnu earth. Why. then, question thorn? 'i'i. "llehold, to obey is belter thnn snerl floe nnd to hearken, I hiiu the tut of rums." Mercy and the knowledge of Ood are more desirable than saeritlea or burnt offering (Hos. vl., ). Hee theHuviuur's Indo inent of this In Math, lx., 13; xll., 7. All sacrifice and burnt ottering pointed to Him, and He was the perfection of obedience und submission to Ills l'ut her, wholly yielded to Him that He might do all the works nnd upeuk all the worts. The ooininaud to obey the voloe of Ood preceded any reference whatever to burnt ottering und sacrillce (Jer. vll., 22, 23). 23. "because thou host rejected the word of the Lord He hath nlso rejected thee from being king." B.e nho verse 2U. Truth Is he characteristic of Father, Hon and Holy aplrit, but whoever rejects the word ot Ood makes Him a liar (I John v., lu) and thus outs blmelf off from all fellowship with Ood. Haul now confesses his sin aud acknowledges thut he sought to please the people ruther than Ood (verse 24).
