Saul was the son of a wealthy man. In the book of 1 Samuel, chapter 9, Saul is sent with a servant to go look for his father's donkeys. They search high and low, but no sign of them.
They come to the town where, ironically, Samuel has also arrived at. The day before, the Lord told Samuel that he will meet a man from the tribe of Benjamin, and he was to annoint him the ruler of Israel.
Saul asked Samuel about the donkeys, and Samuel told him the donkeys were already found. He then invivted Saul to a grand feast and even gave him a place to sleep.
The next morning, Samuel led Saul to the edge of town . . . and annointed him the ruler of Israel.
