Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.
Read Chapter 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Stand up, like people cited to the bar. Having undergone his own trial with applause, Samuel shows that the people will not come off so well at the tribunal of God, whom they had treated with greater disrespect, injustice, and ingratitude than they had himself, as he convinced them by an astonishing and terrible storm. (Haydock)
Kindness. Septuagint, "justice "as the same Hebrew word implies both. God had treated his people with mercy and with justice (Calmet) alternately. (Haydock)
