1 Samuel 9:16 - Additional Comments

This is God's first announcement, albeit only to Samuel, of who Israel's first king would be. As far as I can tell, we are never told why God selected Samuel. But God knew that Samuel would be up to the task of leading Israel in the deliverance in battle from the Ammonites.
