Contextual Overview
16 Nowe also stande and see this great thing which the Lord will doe before your eyes. 17 Is it not nowe wheat haruest? I wil call vnto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and raine, that yee may perceiue and see, howe that your wickednesse is great, which ye haue done in the sight of the Lord in asking you a King. 18 Then Samuel called vnto the Lorde, and the Lorde sent thunder and raine the same day: and all the people feared the Lorde and Samuel exceedingly. 19 And all the people said vnto Samuel, Pray for thy seruaunts vnto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we haue sinned in asking vs a King, beside all our other sinnes. 20 And Samuel said vnto the people, Feare not. (ye haue in deede done all this wickednesse, yet dpeart not from following the Lorde, but serue the Lord with all your heart, 21 Neither turne yee backe: for that shoulde be after vaine things which cannot profite you, nor deliuer you, for they are but vanitie) 22 For the Lorde will not forsake his people for his great Names sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people. 23 Moreouer God forbid, that I should sinne against the Lord, and cease praying for you, but I will shewe you the good and right way. 24 Therefore feare you the Lorde, and serue him in the trueth with all your hearts, and consider howe great things he hath done for you. 25 But if ye doe wickedly, ye shal perish, both yee, and your King.

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.
