1 SAMUEL—NOTE ON 1 Samuel 10:1 the LORD has anointed you. This is a private anointing. Later Samuel will demonstrate publicly, by casting lots, that Saul has been chosen by the Lord (see vv. 1 Samuel 10:17). The Hebrew for his heritage appears six times in Samuel and can refer either to the Lord’s land or to his people Israel.
