The Israelites, as the chosen people, are often addressed collectively in the Old Testament, highlighting their covenant relationship with God. This communal address is consistent with the theocratic society of ancient Israel, where national identity and religious faith were intertwined.“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: The introduction of a divine message underscores the authority and importance of the words that follow.

It serves as a reminder of God's past acts of salvation and His ability to deliver His people from bondage.and I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians The rescue from the Egyptians highlights God's intervention in history to save His people. This deliverance is a type of Christ's ultimate salvation, as Jesus is seen as the one who delivers humanity from the bondage of sin (<a href="/john/8-34.htm">John 8:34-36</a>). The historical context of the Exodus also emphasizes God's role as a warrior and protector of Israel.and of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’ This phrase expands the scope of God's deliverance beyond Egypt to include all oppressive kingdoms. It reflects the ongoing struggles Israel faced with surrounding nations throughout their history, such as the Canaanites, Philistines, and later empires like Assyria and Babylon.

It was perfectly true that, under the present circumstances of Israel, the establishment of a mortal king was needful for the development of the Hebrew power, but it was none the less true that such a change in the Hebrew constitution would never have been necessary had not the nation forsaken their own Eternal Sovereign, who in time past had saved them out of far greater perils than any then threatening them. Now a change in the government of Israel was necessary, therefore God gave them their desire; but the change would involve the loss for ever of the higher blessedness for which the people had shown itself utterly unworthy.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_samuel/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 18. - And said... Samuel first points out in his address to the assembled people that Jehovah always had done for them the very thing for which they desired a king. They wished for deliverance from the Philistines, and Jehovah had delivered them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms that oppressed them (the A.V. wrongly inserts "and of them"). But their deliverance by Jehovah had been made dependent upon their own conduct; they were required to repent them of their sins, and purge the land from idolatry, before victory could be theirs. What they wanted was national independence freed from this condition, and secured by an organisation of their military resources. <a href="/commentaries/1_samuel/10-18.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>and said וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ׀ (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb -
