Saul becasme King because he would please the israelites! God Chose him on his outward appearance because he knew it would please the people! Saul was "a Head" taller than everyone else in Israel. He was the Largest of Israelites so People would respect him and believe he could lead them better than anyone else. that just proves to show that we as people shouldn't judge a person by their stature or place of class! But we should judge on the persons heart! look what it did for the israelis way back when! ss for long explanation and bablings...lol....
GOD BLESS
Ps. if im wrong could someone so kindly correct me! thank you and GOD BLESS
Hi i have a history book and inside it says all what you write i think you are smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually Saul became king because God gave His people the desires of their hearts. God's will was not to give them a physical king. He was their king. When they asked for a king they were rejecting God. They wanted a physical king so they could be like all the other nations. So in turn, God gave them what they wanted even though it was not His will. look at 1 Samuel chapter 8 and read through 10.

∙ 12y agoSamuel was a judge ( or certain type of authority figure) at the time and he had three sons who weren't to great. So everyone was all like hell no we don't want them to take over as your position. So they all wanted him to anoint a king. So he was like whatever and, but God was like if you anoint a king some nasty doo doo is gonna go down. This is where Saul comes in. His dad wanted him to find some lost donkeys so he did. But little did he know Samuel was watching him and God told Samuel to elect him as king, and that's how it happened

∙ 13y agoGod inspired Samuel to anoint Saul as king. Although he was from one of the smallest tribes, Saul was tall, handsome, and courageous. He was also a good soldier. Samuel poured oil over Saul's head as a sign that God had chosen Saul as ruler. God sent Saul his spirit to help Saul rule in God's name.

It was also a political choice. Saul came from the small tribe of Benjamin which meant that he would be neutral in the disputes between the larger tribes of Manasseh and Judah.

Did King Saul lose his salvation when he disobeyed God?
The concept of salvation does not appear in the Old Testament; it is introduced in the New Testament. We are told that it is bad to disobey God, but nothing in the story of King Saul suggests that this would have caused him to lose his salvation. The whole issue of how people get saved if they lived and died at an earlier historical period than that of Jesus Christ is somewhat complicated and has involved the concept of purgatory, where the soul of King Saul presumably was sent, pending his salvation.
