Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - What meaneth then this bleating? etc. Literally, "What is this voice of sheep in my ears, and the voice of oxen?" While Saul's own conscience was silent they were proclaiming his disobedience.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) What meaneth then this bleating? . . .--"Saul is convicted of falsehood by the voices of the animals which he has spared, contrary to God's command. Samuel's mode of citing them against him by the question, 'What meaneth these voices?' has an air of holy humour and cutting irony."--Lange.
