• As for Saul, in appearance he lacked nothing, but in reality he was lacking everything. God was not with him. The priesthood which seemed to support him had previously been judged (1 Sam. 2:31; 3:13); he himself had been rejected as king (1 Sam. 13:14). With him he had the army, that is to say, strength, but it was a strength that dissolved when the Philistines approached (1 Sam. 13:8), thus proving his weakness. (“1 Samuel 14” by H.L. Rossier)
• The enemies are terrified: the result of this victory—in appearance a victory over twenty men, but in reality over an entire people. It is often thus; we have only to enter into the conflict immediately before us, whether it he against one or against a thousand enemies, it matters little. God directs the results; they will go beyond all man's expectation and thoughts. (“1 Samuel 14” by H.L. Rossier)
