Bring hither: The Septuagint reads Προσαγαγε το εφουδ:, οτι αυτος ηρε το εφουδ εν τη ημερα εκεινη ενωπιον Ισραηλ:. "Bring hither the ephod; for he bore the ephod on that day before Israel," which Houbigant and others think is the true reading. Finding that his son Jonathan and his armour-bearer were absent, Saul wished to consult the high-priest; but the tumult increasing, he says to him, "Withdraw thine hand:" i.e., desist form consulting the ephod on the present occasion, and immediately hastened to make the best use he could of this astonishing victory. 1 Samuel 4:3-5, 1 Samuel 30:8; Numbers 27:21; Judges 20:18, Judges 20:23, Judges 20:27-28; 2 Samuel 11:11, 2 Samuel 15:24-26
