The people had asked Samuel to appoint a king (1 Samuel ch.8). At that time, Saul's family had lost two donkeys, and Saul went out in search of them (1 Samuel ch.9). God informed Samuel through prophecy, that a man would come to him the next day, and he was to be made the first Israelite king. The following day, Saul's search brought him to Samuel's town, and Samuel anointed him as king. See also:
