Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 15:27-28

_ _ he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle — the moil, upper tunic, official robe. In an agony of mental excitement, he took hold of the prophet’s dress to detain him; the rending of the mantle [1 Samuel 15:27] was adroitly pointed to as a significant and mystical representation of his severance from the throne.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 15:24-31.
