Contextual Overview
16“Now, therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing that the Lord will do before your eyes. 17Isn’t the wheat harvest today? I will call on the Lord, and he will send thunder and rain so that you will recognize what an immense evil you committed in the Lord’s sight by requesting a king for yourselves.” 18Samuel called on the Lord, and on that day the Lord sent thunder and rain. As a result, all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. 19They pleaded with Samuel, “Pray to the Lord your God for your servants so we won’t die! For we have added to all our sins the evil of requesting a king for ourselves.” 20Samuel replied, “Don’t be afraid. Even though you have committed all this evil, don’t turn away from following the Lord. Instead, worship the Lord with all your heart. 21Don’t turn away to follow worthless things that can’t profit or rescue you; they are worthless. 22The Lord will not abandon his people, because of his great name and because he has determined to make you his own people. 23“As for me, I vow that I will not sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you. I will teach you the good and right way. 24Above all, fear the Lord and worship him faithfully with all your heart; consider the great things he has done for you. 25However, if you continue to do what is evil, both you and your king will be swept 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.
