1 Samuel 15:16

Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.

Cross-reference

In 1 Samuel 15:1, Samuel first delivered God's command to Saul — the very word he now confronts him about.

In 1 Samuel 9:27, Samuel similarly tells Saul the word of God — there for anointing, here for judgment.

In 1 Samuel 12:7, Samuel calls the people to stand and hear God's word — a parallel prophetic address.

In 1 Kings 14:7, Ahijah similarly confronts Jeroboam with a 'thus says the LORD' about past exaltation and present sin — same prophetic pattern.

Isaiah 39:5 Parallel

In Isaiah 39:5, Isaiah also begins a king's judgment with 'Hear the word of the LORD' — matching Samuel's prophetic rebuke.
