This we are told was the first he had built. Samuel, as a prophet and priest, had hitherto erected the altars, but Saul seems to have thought he had sufficient authority to erect one himself, without the prophet, as he had once offered sacrifice without him. 1Sam 7:9, 1Sam 7:17; Judg 21:4; Hos 8:14; 2Tim 3:5 the same etc. Heb. that altar he began to build unto the Lord Let us go Josh 10:9-14, Josh 10:19; Jer 6:5 let us not leave 1Sam 11:11; Josh 11:14 Then said the priest It is evident that Ahiah, who had before been interrupted by Saul's impatience, doubted of the propriety of pursuing the Philistines that night, and properly counselled them to enquire of the Lord.

Why is it that thou has not answered thy servant today? If the iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, (O Lord God of Israel, LXX) make it manifest; and if thou say thus, give to thy people Israel, give mercy," etc., (but Vulg.
