And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
The communing on the top of the house followed the feast, taking place after the descent from the high place into the city. Samuel brought Saul to the housetop because it was a place of quiet and seclusion suited to private conversation. There he laid before him the principles on which Israel's government had been established, and by this instruction prepared him for kingship and for his high position.
