Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 10:3

_ _ the plain — or, “the oak of Tabor,” not the celebrated mount, for that was far distant.

_ _ three men going up to God to Beth-el — apparently to offer sacrifices there at a time when the ark and the tabernacle were not in a settled abode, and God had not yet declared the permanent place which He should choose. The kids were for sacrifice, the loaves for the offering, and the wine for the libations.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 10:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 10:3

Plain — Not that at the foot of mount Tabor, which was far from these parts; but another belonging to some other place. Bethel — Properly so called, which was in Ephraim, where there was a noted high — place, famous for Jacob's vision there, Genesis 28:19, where it is probable they offered sacrifices, in this confused state of things, when the ark was in one place, and the tabernacle in another.
