Contextual Overview

¹⁶ "So now, take your positions and watch this great thing that the Lord is about to do in your sight. ¹⁷ Is this not the time of the wheat harvest? I will call on the Lord so that he makes it thunder and rain. Realize and see what a great sin you have committed before the Lord by asking for a king for yourselves." ¹⁸ So Samuel called to the Lord , and the Lord made it thunder and rain that day. All the people were very afraid of both the Lord and Samuel. ¹⁹ All the people said to Samuel, "Pray to the Lord your God on behalf of us—your servants—so we won't die, for we have added to all our sins by asking for a king." ²⁰ Then Samuel said to the people, "Don't be afraid. You have indeed sinned. However, don't turn aside from the Lord . Serve the Lord with all your heart. ²¹ You should not turn aside after empty things that can't profit and can't deliver, since they are empty. ²² The Lord will not abandon his people because he wants to uphold his great reputation. The Lord was pleased to make you his own people. ²³ As far as I am concerned, far be it from me to sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you! I will instruct you in the way that is good and upright. ²⁴ However, fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Just look at the great things he has done for you! ²⁵ But if you continue to do evil, 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.
