Our lesson chapter shows how Saul by the Spirit of the Lord began to deliver Israel and to ob- tain the contidetu'e of the people.

Whose name signifies “serpent." was moved by the deril, whose he was and whom he served. to seek to bring reproach upon Israel (verses 1-3). Saul heard of the distress of Jahesh Gilead and in a very striking way summoned the peo- ple to gather unto him and Samuel. and 330.000 gathered. and word was sent to the distressed that they would have help by the marrow. That night or in the early morning (verse 11! Saul came suddenly upon the Ammon- ites and so completely routed them that two of them were not left togeth- er (verses 4-113. The morning deliveranees of the Bi- ble are full of interest and are all sug- gestive of the morning that is coming. when the Lord shall finally and for- ever deliver lsrael (Y‘s. xlvi. '3. mar- gin). Compare l’s. xlix, l4. and see Ex. xiv. ‘24. 27. Think also of Dan. vi. 19-23. and of the deliverance that came to the disciples in the morning watch (Mark vi. 48). But. while believers may well rejoice in the glorious morning that is coming and in Him who is to us the Morning Star (ll Sam. xxiil. 5; Rev. xxii. 16). it is also written that there will he no morning for such as do not believe God (Isa. viii. 20; mar- gin and revised version). When the peonle saw the great deliverance wrought by Saul they asked to have Saul‘s enemies put to death. but Saul would not listen to it. saying. “There shall not a man he put to death this day, for today the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel" (verses 12. 13). it was the same power that wrought for Israel at'the Red sea (Ex. xiv, 13, 30) and on so many occasions in all their history. and their greatest deliverance is yet to come (Zech. xiv 3, 9). Samuel then gathered the people to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord. on'ered sacrifices, and all Israel rejoiced greatly (verses 14. 15). Thus far all seemed to be going well. but when man has his way there is soon failure, for “verily. every man at his best state (apart from God) is alto- gether vanity" (T’s. xxxix 5).
