Contextual Overview
16 Now stand still and see this great thing which the Lord will do in front of your eyes. 17 Is it not the time to gather grain today? I will call to the Lord, and He will send thunder and rain. Then you will know and see that you have done a bad sin in the eyes of the Lord by asking for a king." 18 So Samuel called to the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people were very much afraid of the Lord and Samuel. 19 Then all the people said to Samuel, "Pray to the Lord your God for your servants, so we will not die. For we have added to all our sins this bad thing, to ask for a king." 20 Samuel said to the people, "Do not be afraid. You have done all these sins. But do not turn aside from following the Lord. Worship the Lord with all your heart. 21 Do not turn aside after things that have no worth and cannot save you, for they are nothing. 22 The Lord will not leave His people alone, because of His great name. The Lord has been pleased to make you His people. 23 And as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by not praying for you. But I will teach you the good and the right way. 24 Only fear the Lord and be faithful to worship Him with all your heart. Think of the great things He has done for you. 25 But if you still sin, both you and your king will be destroyed."

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.
