Samuel Anoints Saul
10:1Then Samuel took a small container of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s1 head. Samuel2 kissed him and said, “The Lord has chosen you3 to lead his people Israel! You will rule over the Lord’s people and you will deliver them from the power of the enemies who surround them. This will be your sign that the Lord has chosen4 you as leader over his inheritance.5
Footnotes
- 1 Heb “his”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
