Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines,.... From the mountains of Gilboa, where he had pitched his camp:
he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled; on sight of the numbers of them, and thinking perhaps of the death of Samuel, and of the loss of David; who was now among the Philistines, and might possibly fight against him, and for the Philistines, of which he might be informed; however, he was not with him, and his conscience might accuse him of various sins he had been guilty of, for which he might fear the Lord would now reckon with him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 28:5. When Saul saw — He saw from the superiority of his enemies, from the state of his army, and especially from his own state towards God, that he had every thing to fear.
