This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Sa_9:6 And he said unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this city a man of God, and [he is] an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
Ver. 6. A man of God.] A prophet: this title is also given to ministers of the gospel. {2Ti_3:16-17}
And he is an honourable man.] Any relation to God ennobleth, and must be highly esteemed. King Zedekiah is blamed for not humbling himself before Jeremiah the prophet, {2Ch_36:12} who was "precious in God’s sight," and therefore "honourable." {Isa_43:4}
Peradventure he can show us our way.] Tell us whether we shall, and where we may find our lost asses. So low did the high God stoop sometimes to his people’s meanness: to keep them from seeking to sorcerers and idol priests. {1Ki_14:2 2Ki_1:3}
