Now therefore stand still, that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 7. Stand up, like people cited to the bar. Having undergone his own trial with applause, Samuel shews that the people will not come off so well at the tribunal of God, whom they had treated with greater disrespect, injustice, and ingratitude than they had himself, as he convinced them by an astonishing and terrible storm. Bible.—Kindness. Septuagint “justice,” as the same Hebrew word implies both. God had treated his people with mercy and with justice ( Calmet.) alternately. Bible.
