When he went to anoint David, he explained to the public that he had gone to Yishai's (Jesse's) house to make an offering to God. He had to say this so that Saul wouldn't suspect him of undermining his monarchy.
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.

Seven years.
David was anointed 3 times. We don't know the age of David at his first anointing, but he did not become king at that time ( I Samuel 16:1-13). David was anointed king of Judah at age 33, about 1004 B.C. (II Samuel 2:4) and king over all Israel at age 40, about 997 B.C. (II Samuel 5:2) and reigned until 965 B.C.
The biblical anointing are of two kinds , one when a prophet anointed someone with oil to be king in the future , like Samuel did to David. The second oil is used to anoint sick people as well.
Yes, David was anointed by the Prophet Samuel as king of Israel, according to the biblical account in the Books of Samuel. This anointing solidified God's choice of David as the future king and marked the beginning of his reign.
One Hebrew prophet, seer, and judge in the Old Testament is Samuel. He is known for anointing Saul as the first king of Israel and later anointing David as his successor. Samuel played a pivotal role in guiding and leading the people of Israel during his time.
Yes. The account of Samuel anointing Saul is found in 1 Samuel 9 and 10, and his anointing of David is found in 1 Samuel 16.
King David of Israel was anointed twice. The first anointing took place when the prophet Samuel chose him to be king over Israel, while the second occurred later when he was anointed king over Judah and then over all Israel. This dual anointing highlights his rise from a shepherd to a significant leader in biblical history.
At the time of his anointing, 1 Samuel 16:11-13 only says that David was a 'young man' with 'beautiful eyes'.
In the Bible, the most notable figure who lost his anointing is King Saul. His offenses included disobedience to God's commands, specifically when he spared King Agag and the Amalekite livestock instead of completely destroying them, as instructed by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 15). Additionally, Saul's increasing jealousy and attempts to kill David further alienated him from God's favor. While other figures may have faced consequences for their actions, Saul's loss of anointing is the most clearly documented.
No. Depending on the source you prefer, either Samuel anointed David, or the elders of Israel anointed him. In 1 Samuel, God was angry with King Saul for disobeying Samuel's instructions to utterly destroy the Amaleks and all their animals, so Samuel secretly anointed David to replace Saul as king. The Book of Chronicles contains no mention of Samuel's role in anointing Saul as king - the elders of Israel simply joined in anointing David king by acclamation, in gratitude for his leadership under Saul.
