Contextual Overview

16 Also, now present yourselves and see this great thing that Jehovah will do before your eyes. 17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call to Jehovah and He will give sounds and rain. And know and see that your evil is great, that which you have done in the eyes of Jehovah, to ask a king for yourselves. 18 And Samuel called to Jehovah. And Jehovah gave sounds and rain in that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel. 19 And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah your God for your servants, that we may not die, for we have added this evil to all our sins to ask a king for ourselves. 20 And Samuel said to the people, Do not fear. You have done all this evil, only do not turn aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart. 21 And do not turn aside to go after worthless things which do not profit and do not deliver, for they are worthless. 22 For Jehovah will not abandon His people, for the sake of His great name. For Jehovah undertakes to make you a people for Himself. 23 Also I, far be it from me from sinning against Jehovah, from ceasing to pray for you. But I will instruct you in the good and the right way. 24 Only fear Jehovah and serve Him in truth with all your heart, for see that He has done great things for you. 25 But if you still do evilly, both you and your king will be swept away.

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.
