This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





A man of God; a prophet, as that phrase is used, 1Sa_2:27 Jos_14:6 Jud_13:6.



An honourable man; one of great reputation for his skill and faithfulness.



All that he saith cometh surely to pass; his declaration of things secret or future are always certain, and confirmed by the event.



Our way that we should go; the course we should take to find the asses. He saith



peradventure, because be doubted whether so great a prophet, would seek, or God would grant him, a revelation concerning such mean matters; although sometimes God was pleased herein to condescend to his people, to cut off all pretence or occasion of seeking to witches or heathenish divination. See 1Ki_14:2 2Ki_1:3.
