Samuel, on instructions from God, anointed Saul as King of Israel by pouring oil over his head. He continued to serve in Saul's administration as an adviser, telling him God's will and reprimanding Saul when he does not comply.

Did Saul anoint David as king of Israel?

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.

Who was Saul in The Bible?

In the Bible, we read about two Sauls who live centuries apart. One was the first king of Israel, who started out good, but later developed a haughty spirit, and lost God's favor. You can read about this one beginning in 1 Samuel chapter 9. King Saul became very jealous of his most valiant warrior, David. Saul tried on many occasions to kill David because of his envy over the attention David received from the people over his great acts. Saul's own son Jonathan became close friends with David, in spite of his father's hatred for David, and the fact that David was many years his junior. David became the second king of Israel after Saul's death. The second one who was named Saul in the Bible is found in the book of Acts. He is Saul of Tarsus who later was known as Paul. In Bible times a person's name was often changed by God, as if to give the person a new start, or to signify their new assigned role. In the case of the latter Saul, he was an extreme persecutor of Christians, even sharing in the murder of Stephen, a disciple of Christ. He later was confronted by directly by Jesus from heaven on the road to Damascus, to where he was traveling to further persecute Christians. After this experience, Saul completely changed his life course and became the Christian apostle Paul. He was even priveledged to write many of the books of the Christian Greek scriptures (or the New Testiment).
