ExplanationCommentary
Verse 17. To thee. Hebrew “to him.” This was only a repetition of what Samuel had before denounced. Calmet. 15:28. If the evil spirit spoke this, he was not guilty of falsehood, nor more than Matthew 8:29. Calmet.—But would he dare so often to repeat the name of the Lord? Bible.—Could he know what would happen to Saul, and so forth the next day? Worthington.
