Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/1 Samuel 10
Samuel anoints Saul and gives three prophecies of events on his journey home. After calling the people together at Mizpah, Samuel whittles them down by lot to Saul and announces that he is king. Saul tries to hide but is much taller than everyone else. Some people criticise the decision.
