1-5:  Samuel testifies his integrity.
6-15:  He reproves the people of ingratitude.
16-19:  He terrifies them with thunder in harvest time.
20-25:  he comforts them in God's mercy.

have made.
 Samuel had not been two-faced in his ways; in listening to the people, he had simply followed the Lord's commandment; therefore he could say a bit later: "Jehovah has set a king over you" (v. 13). In this we also see the lovely impartiality of a man who is in communion with God; he had forgotten the wrongs and the injustice of the people and the elders against himself personally and had renounced his official functions without a murmur. (1 Samuel 12 by H.L. Rossier)
