Israel's New King

In the book of 1 Samuel, chapter 10 the Lord appoints Saul as king of Israel.

Saul wasn't expecting this honor.  In the previous chapters, he was out looking for his father's donkeys when he happened upon Samuel.

After Samuel annoints Saul, he gives him specific instructions on where he must go and who he will meet.  These events then happen just as Samuel told him.

He is then brought before the people of Israel, to introduce himself as their new king.
