John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 9:27

Pass on — That thou and I may speak privately of the matter or the kingdom. Which Samuel hitherto endeavoured to conceal, lest he should be thought now to impose a king upon them, as before he denied one to them; and that it might appear by the lot mentioned in the next chapter, that the kingdom was given to Saul by God's destination, and not by Samuel's contrivance. Word of God — That is, a message delivered to me from God, which now I shall impart to thee.
