He stayed seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel didn't come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
"You have done foolishly"  (1 Samuel 13:13).  This is the ultimate verdict that appears against all sinful deeds.  The virgins who provided no oil for their lamps were foolish.  The rich farmer who had nowhere to store his goods was foolish.  The man who says in his heart, `There is no God,' is called a fool.  The man who built on the sand was foolish.  Unbelievers professing to be wise are fools  (Romans 1:22).  The Galatians who turned back to Judaism are called "foolish Galatians."  ...  The list is endless.
