Commentary

And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burn offering,.... And before he could offe r the peace offerings: behold, Samuel came; and it was told Saul that he was come: and Saul went out to meet him; left off sacrificing, and would proceed no further, leaving the rest for Samuel and out of respect to him, and to prevent a chiding of him, he went forth to meet him: that he might salute him, or "bless him" (c); congratulate him on his coming, ask of his health and welfare, and wish him all peace and prosperity. (c) "ad benedicendum ei", Montanus.
