• {v.6-15} In order to speak thus, a man must be above reproach, and this fact is of the greatest practical importance for us. We can have no authority with regard to God's people if our actions are not in accord with our gifts and our words. But it is not only a question of conferred authority that counts; one cannot reach consciences without moral authority. (“1 Samuel 12” by H.L. Rossier)

• "It is Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron" (1 Sam. 12:6). To his own loss, Samuel had forgotten this for a moment when he appointed his sons on his own initiative. (“1 Samuel 12” by H.L. Rossier)
