A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord--in having spared the king of the Amalekites and taken the flocks of the people as spoils [Sa1 15:9], as well as in having consulted a pythoness [Sa1 28:7]. Both of these acts were great sins--the first as a violation of God's express and positive command [Sa1 15:3], and the second as contrary to a well-known statute of the kingdom (Lev 19:31). |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For his transgression - Compare Ch1 9:1. The "transgression" intended is probably the disobedience with respect to Amalek, recorded in Sa1 15:1-9 (compare Sa1 28:17-18). |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
The word - Against God's express command: which is a great aggravation of any sin. Familiar spirit - Which also was contrary to a manifest command, Lev 19:31. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Saul died for his transgression - See the concluding observations on the first book of Samuel (Sa1 31:13 (note)). |

3 Now go [03212] and smite [05221] Amalek [06002], and utterly destroy [02763] all that they have, and spare [02550] them not; but slay [04191] both man [0376] and woman [0802], infant [05768] and suckling [03243], ox [07794] and sheep [07716], camel [01581] and ass [02543].
