Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - Stay. Samuel will hear no more. Long as he had striven for him in prayer (ver. 11), he now feels that Saul has fallen too low for recovery to be possible. This night. It is plain from this that Samuel had not gone to meet Saul at Carmel, but on receiving information of his movements had proceeded straight to Gilgal, distant from Ramah about fifteen miles.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) Stay, and I will tell thee . . .--The king was probably turning away, desirous of closing an interview which to him was full of bitterness, when he was arrestedby the solemn words, and probably by the commanding gesture, of his old friend and counsellor, who now addressed him with the majesty and power of an accredited servant of the Most High.
