1 Samuel10:17

17 ¶ And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh ,

To appear before the Lord. So he speaks, either, 1. Because the Ark was carried thither upon this occasion. Or, 2. Because God is present in all the Assemblies of his People, whereof this was an eminent one, See 2 Chron. 19. 6▪ Psal. 82. 1. Or, 3. Because they did in a manner E[illegible: 1+ letters]ect a Tribunal for God; and intreated, and consequently obtained his Presence there to supervise and direct the whole business by his sentence, which also he did, v. 19, &c. See of this Phrase Iudg. 11. 11. and 20. 1.

A City of Benjamin, Ios. 13. 26. where all Israel had met before upon a Publick and solemn occasion, 1 Sam. 7. 5.
