Because of this act, Samuel told Saul that his kingdom would not endure (verse 14), although Saul was still king and apparently God would still give him one more chance to show his obedience in the case of fighting the Amalekites, which Saul again failed and so was declared publicly that God had rejected Saul as king of Israel (15:26) and given ...
[5] [15] When Saul did not completely fulfill the order, Samuel spoke an oracle of judgement to Saul (verses 17–31), a similar prophetic attitude as in 8:1–22 and 13:8–15, but here the rejection of Saul is final and absolute (verses 28–29) and 'parabolically confirmed by the accidental tearing of Samuel's robe when Saul made his last ...
The narrative bears some features of folk-tales: a young man setting out to find his father's missing donkeys comes out as designated king. [15] Saul's search led him to the prophet Samuel, who privately anointed Saul as king and provided three signs as confirmation to its legitimacy, [14] all of which were fulfilled in 1 Samuel 10:2–7.

The Sorceress of Endor, detail of The Shade of Samuel Invoked by Saul (Dmitry Nikiforovich Martynov, 1857). The Witch of Endor (Hebrew: בַּעֲלַת־אֹוב בְּעֵין דּוֹר baʿălaṯ-ʾōḇ bəʿĒyn Dōr, "mistress of the ʾōḇ in Endor") is a woman who, according to the Hebrew Bible, was consulted by Saul to summon the spirit of the prophet Samuel.
Samuel travels to Bethlehem to visit a man named Jesse, with God promising Samuel can anoint one of his sons as king.

Saul becomes ill and David comes to play the harp to him.
YHWH alone chooses a king (the Hebrew verb bahar, "to choose", is used in both accounts; 1 Samuel 10:24; 16:8–10), so both Saul and David did not come to the throne by chance or force. Saul was from the smallest clan of the smallest tribe of Israel, whereas David was the youngest of Jesse's sons.
Samuel comes toward Saul as he enters the town and realises that Saul is the man that God has chosen to be king, so he is hospitable to him. PEOPLE: Kish - Saul - Samuel - יהוה YHVH God PLACES: Mount Ephraim - Shalisha - Shalim - Zuph
The election by lot was used elsewhere to find a hidden offender (Joshua 7; 1 Samuel 14:38-44), but this time, it is to confirm that Saul was God's choice, which was also acclaimed because of Saul's stature (verses 21b–27; cf. 1 Samuel 9:2). [17] YHWH's displeasure with the people's request to have a king did not make Saul's election invalid ...
