14 min • 17 april 2024

In this Bible Story, Saul is anointed as the first king of Israel. He's a strong, handsome, and well-built man who stood a foot taller than every other man in Israel. The people rejoice over finally having a king, yet Samuel had warned them that having a king would not be exactly what they envisioned. This story is inspired by 1 Samuel 9-10.

Today's Bible verse is 1 Samuel 10:1 from the King James Version.

Episode 79: Despite Samuel’s warnings, Israel demanded a King, and God gave them Saul, a man from the tribe of Benjamin. One day Saul was searching for his father’s donkeys and sought Samuel to ask if he could inquire of God about them. During this encounter, Samuel revealed to Saul that God had chosen him to be King over Israel. Seven days later Samuel called together the people of Israel, warned them, and announced that God had chosen Saul as their King.
