ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 6. Dreams. During which God often revealed his will. See Deuteronomy 13:3.—Priests. Hebrew “nor by Urim.” It seems Saul had appointed some priests, and had fabricated a fresh ephod, with the Urim, and so forth after the departure of Abiathar. Calmet.—But Salien calls this in question, and there might neither be priests nor prophets for Saul to consult. Bible.—God despised a man, who had slain so many of his sacred ministers. Menochius.
