1 Samuel 10:13

Verse 13. Place. Returning to his father’s house, after the Spirit had ceased to inspire him, and the prophets had retired home. His relations, suspecting something more than common had been revealed to Saul by Samuel, began to ask him questions: but he had the prudence to keep ( Calmet.) his secret to himself, either in obedience to Samuel’s injunction, when he sent the servant before, ( Bible.) or out of humility, ( Menochius.) or to prevent the dangers of envy from his own kindred. Josephus.
