Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 10:27

_ _ the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents — In Eastern countries, the honor of the sovereign and the splendor of the royal household are upheld, not by a fixed rate of taxation, but by presents brought at certain seasons by officials, and men of wealth, from all parts of the kingdom, according to the means of the individual, and of a customary registered value. Such was the tribute which Saul’s opponents withheld, and for want of which he was unable to set up a kingly establishment for a while. But “biding his time,” he bore the insult with a prudence and magnanimity which were of great use in the beginning of his government.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 10:17-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 10:27

No presents — As subjects in those times used to do to their kings. This was an evidence both of his humility, and the mercifulness of his disposition. So Christ held his peace, in the day of his patience. But there is a day of recompense coming.
