Day 187: Samuel Anoints Saul as Israel's First King
Welcome to Immerse, the daily bible reading experience. On Day 100, we explore the episode where Samuel, growing old, appoints his sons as judges over Israel. However, due to their greed and corruption, the elders of Israel demand a king. Though displeased, Samuel seeks the Lord's guidance, who instructs him to warn the people about the consequences of having a king. Ignoring the warning, the people persist, and God directs Samuel to anoint Saul, the son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, as the future king. Saul, a handsome and tall young man, goes on a journey to find his father's stray donkeys, ultimately leading him to a divine appointment with Samuel. Samuel reveals to Saul his future role as the leader of Israel and anoints him, fulfilling God's command. This episode highlights Saul's transformation and the initial steps towards his kingship.
