John Chrysostom, Homilies on Matthew Homily 82
“For when he had disobeyed Samuel, and had caused the burnt-offering to be offered, when he was not present, being blamed for it, he says, “The compulsion from the enemy was too great,”and when he ought to have bewailed, he felt as though he had done nothing.” — editor's note: Cf. 1 Sam. xiii. 12; and xxviii. 15.
