Contextual Overview

¹⁶ "Now stand still and see the great thing the Lord will do before your eyes. ¹⁷ It is now the time of the wheat harvest. I will pray for the Lord to send thunder and rain. Then you will know what an evil thing you did against the Lord when you asked for a king." ¹⁸ Then Samuel prayed to the Lord , and that same day the Lord sent thunder and rain. So the people were very afraid of the Lord and Samuel. ¹⁹ They said to Samuel, "Pray to the Lord your God for us, your servants! Don't let us die! We've added to all our sins the evil of asking for a king." ²⁰ Samuel answered, "Don't be afraid. It's true that you did wrong, but don't turn away from the Lord . Serve the Lord with all your heart. ²¹ Idols are of no use, so don't worship them. They can't help you or save you. They are useless! ²² For his own sake, the Lord won't leave his people. Instead, he was pleased to make you his own people. ²³ I will surely not stop praying for you, because that would be sinning against the Lord . I will teach you what is good and right. ²⁴ You must honor the Lord and truly serve him with all your heart. Remember the wonderful things he did for you! ²⁵ But if you are stubborn and do evil, he will sweep you and your king away."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now therefore stand,.... Which does not so much respect the position of their bodies as the fixed attention of their minds:

and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes; meaning the storm of thunder and rain which presently followed; which coming at a time when such things were not usual, and on a day when there was no appearance or likelihood of anything of this kind, and suddenly, at once, upon the prayer of Samuel, it was no less than a miracle, and might be called a "great thing", new and unheard of, and the pure effect of almighty power.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 12:16. This great thing — This unusual occurrence.
