1 Samuel 11
Saul's
early prudence: the Kingdom renewed at Gilgal
As yet all goes well with
Saul; he does not take vengeance on those who oppose him.
Before his faith is tried, his natural character would
gain him favour with men. And now, in those things which
have given rise to the carnal movement that led the
people to desire a king, all apparently prospers to their
wish. The Ammonites are so thoroughly defeated, that two
of them are not left together. Here also Saul acts with
prudence and generosity. He does not allow the people's
desire for vengeance to be carried out. He owns the Lord
in the blessing granted to the people. In truth God was
with them, granting to the flesh all the means and helps
necessary for walking with Him, had the thing been
possible. Samuel is there on God's part, and supports by
his authority the king whom God has set up. At Samuel's
invitation the people assemble at Gilgal (a place
memorable for the blessing of the people and their
association with Jehovah, the flesh being judged, on
entering the land), to renew the kingdom there, and again
to recognise a throne whose authority had just been
confirmed by successful efforts for the deliverance of
God's people. Peace-offerings and great rejoicing make
the ceremony more imposing.
