Definitions for 1-samuel 28:17
Clarke's 1-samuel 28:17 Bible Commentary
The Lord hath done to him - I believe these words are spoken of Saul; and as they are spoken to him, it seems evident that him should be thee. The Vulgate has tibi, the Septuagint σοι, to Thee: and this is the reading of five of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., as well as of both the Bibles printed at Venice in 1518, where we read לך lecha, to Thee, instead of לו lo, to Him.
As he spake by me - Here was no illusion; none but Samuel could say this.
Barnes's 1-samuel 28:17 Bible Commentary
To him - Better, "for Himself," as in the margin.
Wesley's 1-samuel 28:17 Bible Commentary
