  1  Saul despairing to find his father's asses,
  6  by the counsel of his servant,
 11  and direction of young maidens,
 15  according to God's revelation,
 18  comes to Samuel.
 19  Samuel entertains Saul at the feast.
 25  Samuel, after secret communication, brings Saul on his way.

   We are not to suppose from this that the prophets took money
   to predict future events:  Saul only refers to an invariable
   custom, that no man approached a superior without some present
   or another, however small in value.  Dr. Pococke tells us of a
   present of fifty radishes!  Other authors mention a flower, an
   orange, or similar trifles; and Mr. Bruce says, that one who
   wished to solicit a favour from him, presented him with about
   a score of dates!  "I mention this trifling circumstance,"
   says Mr. B. "to shew how essential to human and civil
   intercourse presents are considered to be in the East; whether
   it be dates, or whether it be diamonds, they are so much a
   part of their manners, that without them, an inferior will
   never be at peace in his own mind, or think that he has hold
   of his superior for protection.  But superiors give no
   presents to their inferiors."  Presents then are tokens of
   honour; not intended as offers of payment or enrichment.

 * the seer.
   The word {roaih} literally signifies one who sees;
   particularly preternatural sights.  A seer and a prophet were
   the same in most cases; only with this difference, the seer
   was always a prophet, but the prophet was not always a seer.
   A seer seems to imply one who frequently met with and saw some
   symbolical representation of God.  All prophets, true or
   false, profess to see God, (see Nu 24:4, 16.  Jer 14:4;) and
   diviners, in their enthusiastic flights, boasted that they had
   those things exhibited to their sight which should come to
   pass.

   Probably the shoulder was set before Saul, not because it was
   the best part, but because it was an emblem of the government
   to which he was now called.  (See Isa 9:6.)

   Saul had no doubt slept there all night, as is usual in the
   East; and now, being the break of day, "Samuel called to Saul
   on the top of the house:"  there was no calling him to the top
   of the house a second time; he was sleeping there, and Samuel
   called him up.

   The following history of Saul is given by the Afghans, a
   people generally supposed to be of Jewish origin:  "In a war
   which raged between the children of Israel and the Amalekites,
   the latter being victorious, plundered the Jews, and obtained
   possession of the ark of the covenant.  Considering this [as]
   the God of the Jews, they threw it into the fire, which did
   not affect it.  They afterwards attempted to cleave it with
   axes, but without success:  every individual who treated it
   with indignity, was punished for his temerity.  They then
   placed it in their temple; but all their idols bowed to it.
   At length they fastened it upon a cow, which they turned loose
   in the wilderness.  When the prophet Samuel arose, the
   children of Israel said to him, 'We have been totally subdued
   by the Amalekites, and have no king.  Raise to us a king, that
   we may be enabled to contend for the glory of God.'  Samuel
   said, 'In case you are led out to battle, are you determined
   to fight?'  They answered, 'What has befallen us, that we
   should not fight against infidels?  That nation has banished
   us from our country and children.'  At this time the angel
   Gabriel descended, and delivering a wand, said, 'It is the
   command of God, that the person whose stature shall correspond
   with this wand, shall be king of Israel.'  Melec Tálút was at
   that time a man of inferior condition, and performed the
   humble employment of feeding the goats and cows of others.
   One day, a cow under his charge was accidentally lost.  Being
   disappointed in his searches, he was greatly distressed, and
   applied to Samuel saying, 'I have lost a cow, and I do not
   possess the means of satisfying the owner.  Pray for me that I
   may be extricated from this difficulty.'  Samuel perceiving
   that he was a man of lofty stature, asked his name.  He
   answered, Tálút.  Samuel then said, 'Measure Tálút with the
   wand which the angel Gabriel brought.'  His stature was equal
   to it.  Samuel then said, 'God has raised Tálút to be your
   king.'  The children of Israel answered, 'We are greater than
   our king.  We are men of dignity, and he is of inferior
   condition.  How shall he be our king?'  Samuel informed them,
   they should know that God had constituted Tálút king, by his
   restoring the ark of the covenant.  He accordingly restored
   it, and they acknowledged him their sovereign."  Asiatic
   Researches, vol. ii. p. 119, et seq.
