Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible
1 Samuel 9 - Introduction
Saul is sent by His father to seek the asses which were lost: Samuel meets Saul, invites him to a feast with him, and assures him that the asses were found: and because he had been commanded by God to anoint Saul king, he orders the servant to pass on before that he might declare God's commands to him alone.
