CHAPTER IX

Saul's lineage and description; he is sent by his father to

seek some lost asses, 1-5.

Not finding them, he purposes to go and consult Samuel

concerning the proper method of proceeding, 6-14.

The Lord informs Samuel that he should anoint Saul king, 15, 16.

Samuel invites Saul to dine with him, and informs him that the

asses are found; and gives him an intimation that he is to be

king, 17-21.

Saul dines with Samuel, and afterwards he is taken to the

house-top, where both commune together, 22-27.

NOTES ON CHAP. IX

Verse 1 Samuel 9:1. A mighty man of power.] Literally, a strong man; this appears to be the only power he possessed; and the physical strength of the father may account for the extraordinary size of the son. See 1 Samuel 9:2.
