What Does 1 Samuel 9:25 Mean?
When the meal at the high place is finished, Samuel and Saul come down into the city, and there on the flat rooftop of the house Samuel talks privately with him. The rooftop was a cool and quiet place in the evening, suited to unhurried conversation. The prophet and the future king withdraw together for words meant for Saul alone.
Before the great announcement of the next morning, there is private fellowship and counsel. Samuel does not rush Saul into his calling but spends time with him, preparing his heart in quiet conversation. The Lord often readies us for what is coming through unhurried moments of communion, away from the crowd. It is in such stillness that God speaks most clearly and prepares his servants for the work ahead.
