Chapter 13 8-10. God Was Revealing Saul’s True Character—In detaining Samuel, it was the purpose of God that the heart of Saul should be revealed, that others might know what he would do in an emergency. It was a trying position in which to be placed, but Saul did not obey orders. He felt that it would make no difference who approached God, or in what way; and, full of energy and self-complacency, he put himself forward into the sacred office.{2BC 1014.3}

Kapitel 13

8-10. Gud åbenbarede Sauls sande karakter. - Ved at opholde Samuel, var det Guds hensigt at Sauls hjerte skulle åbenbares, så andre kan vide hvad han vil gøre i en nødsituation. Det var en prøvende position at blive sat i, men Saul adlød ikke ordrer. Han følte at det ikke gjorde nogen forskel, hvem der nærmede sig Gud, eller på hvilken måde; og, fuld af energi og selvtilfredshed, påtog han sig selv det hellige embede.
