1Sa_14:37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
Ver. 37. And Saul asked counsel of God.] Since the high priest would needs have it so. See 1Sa_14:34.
But he answered him not that day.] A sure sign of his displeasure, as 1Sa_28:6. God either answereth not wicked men at all, {Eze_20:2-3} or else he answereth them according to the idols of their hearts, with bitter answers: {Eze_14:20} sending them to the gods whom they had chosen, as Jdg_10:13-14.
