1 SAMUEL—NOTE ON 1 Samuel 13:8 Saul knows he has done wrong, for he starts making excuses (vv. 1 Samuel 13:11). Saul is unable to trust and obey the word of the Lord, so instead he responds to circumstances or relies on religious ritual to gain God’s favor (see 1 Samuel 14:24 and the incident in 1 Samuel 4:3).
