Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

1 Samuel 10:13

When he had made an end of prophesying Herein he differed from the prophets who met him, in that he prophesied but for a short time, this not being his office. And when he had done he went up to the high place from which they came down, they probably returning with him, to praise God for these wonderful favours, and to beg counsel and help from him in this high business.
