Matthew Henry Commentary 1 Samuel 25:1

"And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran." — 1 Samuel 25:1 (ASV)

All Israel lamented Samuel, and they had reason. He prayed daily for them. Those have hard hearts, who can bury faithful ministers without grief, and who do not feel their loss of those who have prayed for them and taught them the way of the Lord.
