Notes
Samuel did this again by anointing David with olive oil (1 Samuel 16:13).
The people of Israel belonged to the Lord, not the king. The king was to manage, not own, them (compare 1 Samuel 8:10–18).
Saul became powerful through three main events:
Samuel secretly anointed him (1 Samuel 9:1–10:16).
He was chosen by casting lots (1 Samuel 10:17–27).
He defeated the Ammonites (1 Samuel 11:1–15).
