Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Samuel 10:13

"And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place." — 1 Samuel 10:13 (ASV)

He came to the high place. —After he had spent his fervor in the hymn, and probably ecstatic prayer, Saul, before he went to his home, we read, proceeded at once to the high place of Gibeah, from where the sons of the prophets had just come down when he met them on the hillside. He went there, no doubt, because, conscious of the change that had passed over him, and aware of his new powers, he felt a desire for solitary communing in the quiet of a holy sanctuary with God, who had come so near him.
