Context — Saul Proclaimed King
25Then Samuel explained to the people the rights of kingship. He wrote them on a scroll and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own home.
26Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, and the men of valor whose hearts God had touched went with him.
27But some worthless men said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him and brought him no gifts; but Saul remained silent about it.

1 Samuel 10:27 Summary
This verse shows that not everyone was happy with Saul as their new king. Some people did not think he could help them and they did not bring him any gifts. But Saul did not get angry or fight back, he just stayed quiet and trusted in God, similar to what we see in Proverbs 19:11. This teaches us to trust in God and not to lash out when people are mean to us, as seen in 1 Peter 2:20.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the worthless men mentioned in 1 Samuel 10:27?
The worthless men in this verse are likely those who do not have faith in God or in Saul's leadership, as seen in their lack of trust and their despising of him, similar to the attitude of the Israelites towards Moses in Numbers 14:2-4 and the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 43:2.
What does it mean that Saul remained silent about the worthless men's behavior?
Saul's silence in this situation shows his self-control and trust in God, similar to the example of Jesus in 1 Peter 2:23, who did not retaliate when insulted, and instead entrusted Himself to God.
Why did the worthless men bring no gifts to Saul?
The worthless men brought no gifts to Saul because they did not recognize his authority or appreciate his leadership, unlike the men of valor whose hearts God had touched, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 10:26.
How does this verse relate to the broader context of 1 Samuel?
This verse highlights the challenges Saul faced as the newly appointed king of Israel, and it foreshadows the struggles he would encounter throughout his reign, as seen in 1 Samuel 13:13-14 and 15:22-23.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I, like Saul, can remain silent and trust in God when faced with criticism or opposition?
- How can I, like the men of valor, show appreciation and support for the leaders God has placed in my life?
- In what ways can I recognize and resist the influence of 'worthless men' in my own life, who may be leading me away from God's plans and purposes?
- What does this verse teach me about the importance of humility and self-control in my own relationships and interactions with others?

But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace. Brought him no presents.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:27
This man; so mean a person, and of the weakest of all the tribes. Brought him no presents; as subjects in those times and places used to do to their kings; see ; and as Saul’ s mean condition, herewith they upbraided him, required. He held his peace; thereby manifesting his prudence and clemency, which was of great use in the beginning of his government.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:27
1 Samuel 10:27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.Ver. 27. But the children of Belial.] Aweless, lawless, yokeless. Despised him.] Vilified and nullified him, as a king of clouts. So they were never content. Thus they slighted manna and the Messiah. But he held his peace.] Or, He heard them not. This was kingly indeed. What could great Alexander have done more? or Augustus Caesar? or Queen Elizabeth? whose motto was, Video, Taceo, I see and say nothing. “ Qui nescit dissimulare, nescit imperare. ” Quid faciet hic longolius?
Quid praestabit turris haec carnea? Non est in tanto corpore mica salis.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:27
(27) The children of Belial.—More accurately, worthless men. (See Note on 1 Samuel 2:12.) And they despised him.—As above suggested, these malcontents were probably princes and leading men of the great tribes of Judah and Ephraim, displeased that the new king should be selected from the small unimportant tribe of Benjamin. It will be remembered that the tribe of Benjamin had been almost entirely destroyed in the civil war related in the concluding chapters of Judges. “They despised him,” because in no way had he made his mark, either in the arts of war or peace. From what has gone before (see 1 Samuel 10:11-12 of this 1Sam) it is evident that Saul was a man of no special culture; his early years had been spent in agriculture and work on his father’s lands in the neighbourhood of Gibeah. And brought him no presents.—These gifts were, in the East, the token of submission and homage; not to offer them to Saul was almost the same thing as to ignore his authority. Although not stated, it is clear that these malcontents were among the chiefs of the greater tribes who had assisted at the election. But he held his peace.—Literally, he was a deaf man, acting as though he had not heard the murmurs. This prudent conduct showed great self-control and self-denial on the part of the new king and his counsellors.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:27
Verse 27. Brought him no presents] They gave him no proofs that they acknowledged either the Divine appointment or his authority. The Arab chiefs are, to this day, when on a march or excursion of any kind, supplied with every necessary by the free-will offerings or presents of the people in the villages or places where they encamp. Saul was now a public character, and had a right to support from the public. These sons of Belial refused to bear their part; they brought him no presents. He marked it, but at present held his peace; he was as if he were deaf: so says the text. He was prudent, and did not immediately assume all the consequence to which his office entitled him. It is probable, however, that tribute is meant by the word present. The people in general finding they had now a king, took it for granted that they must pay tribute or taxes to him. This was a part of the manner of the king which Samuel had shown them; the great majority had done so, but certain refractory people refused to pay any thing, on the pretence that such a person as Saul could not be a deliverer of Israel.
How, say they, shall this man save us?
Cambridge Bible on 1 Samuel 10:27
27. the children of Belial said] Certain worthless fellows (see note on 1 Samuel 1:16) spoke disparagingly of him, and despised him. and brought him no presents] Cp. 1 Kings 10:25; 2 Chronicles 17:5. The refusal of the customary offerings of homage was tantamount to a deliberate and contemptuous rejection of his authority. But he held his peace] Or, And he was as one deaf, refusing to take notice of this studied insult. See however the note on 1 Samuel 11:1.
