VERSE 17, 18, 19. And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the Head of the Tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee King over Israel? And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them, until they be consumed. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD.
VERSE 17, 18, 19. And Samuel sayd, When thou wast little in thine owne sight, wast thou not made the Head of the Tribes of Israel, and the LORD anoynted thee King ouer Israel? And the LORD sent thee on a iourney, and sayd, Goe, and vtterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them, vntill they bee consumed. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voyce of the LORD, but didst flie vpon the spoyle, and didst euill in the sight of the LORD.
Now in this verse, it followeth, how Samuel tells Saul, what God had ⟨p. 56⟩said to him that night, to wit, that he had advanced him to the kingdom, when he was mean and base, therefore that he ought to have honoured and obeyed him, whom he had so preferred: yea, (saith he) when the Lord commanded thee to destroy utterly the Amalekites, thou diddest not as he commanded thee, how canst thou answer this? Furthermore he said, that thou soughtest thine own gain and glory, by disobeying him, therefore it repenteth him that he made thee King. In these three verses among other things, note this generally, which the Lord complaineth of, that when men are of mean estate and low, they can prize Gods benefits
