1 Samuel 10:18-19

18 Und er sprach zu den Kindern Israel: So spricht Jehova, der Gott Israels: Ich habe Israel aus Ägypten heraufgeführt und euch errettet aus der Hand der Ägypter und aus der Hand all der Königreiche, die euch bedrückten;
19 ihr aber habt heute euren Gott verworfen, der euch aus allen euren Übeln und euren Drangsalen gerettet hat, und habt zu ihm gesagt: Einen König sollst du über uns setzen! Nun denn, stellet euch auf vor Jehova nach euren Stämmen und nach euren Tausenden!

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 10

In this chapter we read of Saul's being anointed king by Samuel, 1Sa 10:1, and of certain signs given as confirming the same, which should come to pass, and did, before Saul got to his father's house, 1Sa 10:2-13, of his arrival at his father's house, and of what passed between him and his uncle there, 1Sa 10:14-16, of Samuel's calling all Israel together at Mizpeh, and of the election of Saul by lot to be king, and of his being declared such, 1Sa 10:17-25, and of his return to his city, being respected by some, and despised by others, 1Sa 10:26,27.
