SHALLOW REPENTANCE UNAVAILING
1 Samuel 15:17
Samuel was deeply moved when he heard of Saul's failure, “and he
cried unto the Lord all night.” Thus he was prepared to accost the
sinful king. Mr. Finne...

We have already seen that the desire and deliberate decision of the
people for a king was a direct blow at the government of God in
Israel; but the time was come to permit the will of the people to ha...

Nevertheless Saul is put to a final proof. Jehovah, by the mouth of
Samuel, sends him to smite Amalek, and utterly destroy them and all
that belonged to them. They were the cruel and determined enemie...

He besought Samuel only, and seemed most anxious to stand right in his
opinion, and to gain his favour. 2. He excuses his fault, e...
