1 Samuel 12:16
Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
Now therefore stand,.... Which does not so much respect the position of their bodies as the fixed attention of their minds:
and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes; meaning the storm of thunder and rain which presently followed; which coming at a time when such things were not usual, and on a day when there was no appearance or likelihood of anything of this kind, and suddenly, at once, upon the prayer of Samuel, it was no less than a miracle, and might be called a "great thing", new and unheard of, and the pure effect of almighty power.
