davidAnswer:Saul didn't anoint anyone to be king of Israel; Samuel anointed both Saul and David. See 1 Samuel 9 & 10 for the anointing of Saul, and 1 Samuel 16 for the anointing of David.
technically Saul [1st Samuel 17, but actually Saul was rejected by Yahweh as king over yisrael back in chapter 15:26; so textually; HOWEVER - because david was anointed by the prophet Samuel as king in 16:13; the death of goliath happened in chap 17....so saul rejected-15:23 david anointed-16:13 goliath killed-17:15 you could then say that david was king when he killed goliath :)
