1 Samuel 9:27-10:27
10:4 | The loaves of bread were probably intended for the sacrificial meal. This was the second time Saul received the sacred bread, an honor that corroborated his divine anointing.
10:6-10 | The Spirit of the Lord would specially empower a person to serve God’s people (Judg. 3:10; 6:34; 11:29; 13:25; 14:6; 14:19; 15:14). This temporary filling confirmed Saul’s anointing as king.
10:21-22 | In spite of all the Lord had done to confirm Saul’s calling, including the three additional signs in 10:2-7, he apparently was reticent. Those who look to themselves and their own strength will never have the courage to accept the Lord’s commissioning. The only antidote to such reticence is total reliance on God.
