Contextual Overview

17 Then Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah. 18 He said to the people of Israel, "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel out of Egypt. I saved you from the power of the Egyptians, and from the power of all the nations that made it hard for you.' 19 But today you have turned away from your God, Who saves you from all your troubles. You have said, ‘No! Have a king rule over us!' So now come before the Lord, by your family groups and by your thousands." 20 When Samuel brought all the families of Israel near, the name of the family group of Benjamin was drawn. 21 Then he brought the family group of Benjamin near by its families, and the name of the Matrite family was drawn. Then the name of Saul the son of Kish was drawn. But when they looked for him, he could not be found. 22 So they asked the Lord, "Has the man come here yet?" The Lord said, "See, he is hiding among the bags." 23 They ran and brought him from there. And when he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of them. 24 Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the Lord has chosen? For sure there is no one like him among all the people." So all the people called out and said, "Long live the king!" 25 Then Samuel told the people the rights and duties of the king and his nation. He wrote them in a book and laid it before the Lord. Then Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his home. 26 Saul went home to Gibeah. And the strong men whose hearts God had touched went with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And said unto the children of Israel,.... In the name of the Lord, using the phrase which the prophets used when they spoke in the name of the Lord:

thus saith the Lord God of Israel; the great Jehovah, the Being of beings, the covenant God of his people Israel:

I brought up Israel out of Egypt; when in bondage there, with a mighty hand and outstretched arm, by means of signs and wonders done by the hands of Moses and Aaron; the Lord working mightily with them, and thereby inclining Pharaoh and his people to let them go:

and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians; at the Red sea, drowning them in it, when they threatened Israel with an utter destruction:

and out of the hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them that oppressed you; as the Arabic writers, the kingdoms of Og and Bashan in their way to Canaan, and the Mesopotamians, Moabites, Canaanites, Midianites, Ammonites, and Philistines, in the times of the judges; all which is observed to show their ingratitude, and aggravate their guilt.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 10:18. I brought up Israel out of Egypt — These are similar to the upbraidings in 1 Samuel 8:7, &c.
