Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the children of Israel said to Samuel,.... To whom they applied, not as the general of their forces, but as the prophet of the Lord; believing his prayers for them would be of more avail to them than an army of men ever so numerous, or so well accoutred:
cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us: he had been praying for them that day, and they desired he would continue praying for them, well knowing that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much; they knew their salvation was of the Lord, and that he only could save them, and that he must be sought unto for it; and as Samuel had an interest in him, they beg he would continue to make use of it on their behalf; in which they expressed their trust in God, their regard to means, the duty of prayer, and the high esteem they had of the prophet of the Lord, whom they entreat to pray for them:
that he will save us out of the hands of the Philistines; who were now coming up against them, and who had for a long time tyrannised over them.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 7:8. Cease not to cry unto the Lord — They had strong confidence in the intercession of Samuel, because they knew he was a holy man of God.
