Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Samuel 15:34
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Then Samuel went to Ramah,…. His native place, and where was his usual residence:
and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul; which was also his birth place, and where was his father’s house, and where he had his palace, and kept his court; and took its name from him, to distinguish it from another Gibeah; and so Josephus w says it was called Gabathsaoule, and was about thirty furlongs or four miles from Jerusalem.
w De Bello Jud. l. 5. c. 2. sect. 1.

After the prophet had thus maintained the rights of Jehovah in the presence of Saul, and carried out the ban upon Agag, he returned to his own home at Ramah; and Saul went to his house at Gibeah. From that time forward Samuel broke off all intercourse with the king whom Jehovah had rejected. “ For Samuel was grieved for Saul, and it repented the Lord that he had made Saul king,” i.e., because Samuel had loved Saul on account of his previous election; and yet, as Jehovah had rejected him unconditionally, he felt that he was precluded from doing anything to effect a change of heart in Saul, and his reinstatement as king.

(34) Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. (35) And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
What is here said of Samuel’s coming no more to see Saul, means no more to visit and advise him, or with a message from the Lord. That they met together afterwards, and perhaps more than once, is evident from 1Sa 19:24 . But it means he came no more to him from the Lord. Saul was rejected in the Lord’s will, and his servant had, therefore, no more message for him. Yet Samuel’s heart mourned for Saul, and lamented, as every good man doth, when the wicked reject the counsel of God, against their own souls.
