 “The people”...disappear in the day when the heart is put to the test, but they speak openly in favor of Saul and against the children of Belial (v. 12) when they find it advantageous to be associated with the king. The whole nation is never on the side of a despised Saul (1 Sam. 10:27), or of a rejected David, as we shall see later. (1 Samuel 11 by H.L. Rossier)

And the people said to Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
