Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Bamuel-- Samuel still was mighty in the land. His influeneo would go far in showing the children of Israel not only what the emergency was, but what the chances of success were. Saul was unknown as a leader. Samuel was a chosen prophet. Samuel's name, thereiore, gave weight to the sum- mons which Saul_ sent forth. The dread of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man-The fear of Jehovah did not cause weakness; it rather inspired strength. When Jehovah called, the children must obey. They fear- ed him because if they were disp- bedient, and he exercised his tut- ger, the result would be worse than any evil which could come to them in battle. , , ll- ‘9, a. i, 9.

There shall not a man be put to death this day; for to-day Jeho- vah hath wrought deliverance in Israel-Saul, first of all, gives the credit of the victory to Jehovah and, secondly, shows keen judg- ment in not allowing any man to be sought out and annoyed.

Now when the fact of the kingship is to be publicly pro: claimed, he simply says, we will "renew," or make public, what has "renew," or make public, what has already been done. 16.
