| I Samuel 28:17
| For the Lord will do to thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David:
| To thee. Hebrew, "to him." This was only a repetition of what Samuel had before denounced, 1 Kings 15:28. If the evil spirit spoke this, he was not guilty of falsehood, no more than [in] Matthew 8:29. (Calmet) --- But would he dare so often to repeat the name of the Lord? (Haydock) --- Could he know what would happen to Saul, etc., the next day? (Worthington)
