Notes

1 Samuel 12:22

for the sake of His great name: He always keeps his promises, even if his people do not (see also Isaiah 37:35; 43:25; 48:9–11).
His people: Israel, are his treasured possession (see Exodus 19:5; Deuteronomy 9:25–29). He will never abandon them (see Romans 11:1–5, 25–32).

1 Samuel 12:6–25

In 1 Samuel 12:1–5, Samuel examined himself and was found innocent. In 1 Samuel 12:6–25, he examined the nation and found it guilty.

1 Samuel 12:1–25

The confirmation of Saul as king at Gilgal was the last step in making him king (1 Samuel 11:12–15). It was also a suitable time for Samuel to give his farewell speech as Israel's leader.
