This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_14:35 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.
Ver. 35. And Saul built an altar unto the Lord.] That they that would might thereon offer peaceofferings, as Vatablus here noteth.
The same was the first altar that he built,] sc., In obedience, saith Jerome: other altars he had built before, but in hypocrisy. Some think that he is here taxed with profaneness and impiety, in that he could never till now find in his heart to testify his thankfulness for any former victory, by building an altar unto the Lord.
