“And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;”
King James Version (KJV)
10:16 Told not - In obedience to Samuel, who obliged him to secrecy: and from an humble modesty.
10:19 Now therefore, &c. - He puts them upon chusing their king by lot, that all might know God had chosen Saul (for the disposal of the lot is of the Lord) and to prevent all dispute and exception.
