Context Summary
First Samuel 10:1–16 starts where the previous chapter left off. Samuel anoints Saul's head with oil and tells him the Lord has anointed him to be Israel's prince. Saul will reign over the people and save them from their enemies. Three signs will confirm this is true. All three signs happen, including God's Spirit rushing on Saul and him prophesying with a group of musical prophets. Saul's uncle asks about Samuel, but Saul doesn't tell him about becoming king.
