To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 9 of 1 Samuel. Saul and his servant meet Samuel, producing their first encounter. Samuel has already received revelation concerning Saul’s arrival, while Saul still interprets the situation from a limited perspective. Saul is surprised that Samuel treats him with honor because he considers his family insignificant within Israel. The scene prepares the later tension between appearance, divine choice, and character. The future king begins as someone who is not deliberately seeking power.
