Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 15:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. Saul came to Carmel —in the south of Judah ( Joshua 15:55 ; 1 Samuel 25:2 ). he set him up a place —that is, a pillar ( 2 Samuel 18:18 ); literally, a hand, indicating that whatever was the form of the monument, it was surmounted, according to the ancient fashion, by the figure of a hand, the symbol of power and energy. The erection of this vainglorious trophy was an additional act of disobedience. His pride had overborne his sense of duty in first raising this monument to his own honor, and then going to Gilgal to offer sacrifice to God. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
