1 Samuel 28:17
"And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the Lord hath done to him,.... To David, Saul's enemy, as he insinuated he was: as he spake by me; pretending to be the true Samuel, and wearing the

guise of him, he speaks his very words, which he was well acquainted with, and could deliver exactly as he did: for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour; which words are expressed by Samuel, Sa1 15:28 , even unto David; which is added by the apparition, by way of explanation, interpreting the words of David; which he might safely venture to do, seeing such a train of circumstances had occurred since the delivery of these words, which plainly made it appear he was intended.
