I Samuel 10:17,20,21,24



I Samuel 10:17,20, 21, 24 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh; And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken…  And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king. Samuel was aggravated with his people. They had not only rejected his leadership, they had rejected God’s leadership. The people wanted a king. And God told Samuel to go along with their request. So Samuel warned them and went ahead and looked for God’s anointed king. But who was he? How would Samuel find him? After God had led Samuel in a miraculous way, Samuel anointed Saul as king. Saul seemed to be a good choice. He was good looking and tall like a king should be. And he was humble. He wasn’t pushy and uppity. But would he be a good king? Only time would tell.
