Contextual Overview

¹⁶ Just stand here and watch the Lord show his mighty power. ¹⁷ Isn't this the dry season? I'm going to ask the Lord to send a thunderstorm. When you see it, you will realize how wrong you were to ask for a king. ¹⁸ Samuel prayed, and that same day the Lord sent a thunderstorm. Everyone was afraid of the Lord and of Samuel. ¹⁹ They told Samuel, "Please, pray to the Lord your God for us! We don't want to die. We have sinned many times in the past, and we were very wrong to ask for a king." ²⁰ Samuel answered: Even though what you did was wrong, you don't need to be afraid. But you must always follow the Lord and worship him with all your heart. ²¹ Don't worship idols! They don't have any power, and they can't help you or save you when you're in trouble. ²² But the Lord has chosen you to be his own people. He will always take care of you so that everyone will know how great he is. ²³ I would be disobeying the Lord if I stopped praying for you! I will always teach you how to live right. ²⁴ You also must obey the Lord —you must worship him with all your heart and remember the great things he has done for you. ²⁵ But if you and your king do evil, the Lord will wipe you out.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But if ye shall still do wickedly,.... Continue to rebel against God, revolt from him, and depart from his worship, and despise his prophets, and serve idols:

ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king; their king would be so far from protecting, that he should perish with them, be killed by the sword, as Saul their first king was, or go into captivity, as others of their kings did.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 12:25. Ye shall be consumed — If ye do wickedly you shall be destroyed, your kingdom destroyed, and your king destroyed. Here they had set before them life and good, death and evil. Never was a people more fully warned, and never did a people profit less by the warning; and they continue to this day monuments of God's justice and forbearance. Reader, What art thou? Perhaps a similar monument. Consider therefore what great things God has done for thee.
