What does 1 Samuel 10:13 mean?

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 13 He came to the high place - I suppose this to mean the place where Saul's father lived; as it is evident the next verse shows him to be at home.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 1 Samuel 10:9-16

The signs Samuel had given Saul, came to pass punctually; he found that God had given him another heart, another disposition of mind. Yet let not an outward show of devotion, and a sudden change for the present, be too much relied on; Saul among the prophets was Saul still. His being anointed was kept private. He leaves it to God to carry on his own work by Samuel, and sits still, to see how the matter will fall.
