Haydock's commentary
Which he spoke, is not expressed in Hebrew or Septuagint. Samuel complied with the injunction, by anointing David, 1 Kings xvi. 13. He also wrote an account of this memorable transaction, which translated the sceptre from one family to another. (Haydock)
It is, on this account, that the author here takes particular notice of God's decree. (Kennicott)
