Well, darling, Saul, David, and Solomon were all kings of Israel. They also had a knack for getting themselves into some juicy drama, whether it was battling enemies or dealing with family feuds. So, in a nutshell, they were all ruling the roost in the land of Israel, causing a stir wherever they went.
Saul was the first king of Israel, chosen by the prophet Samuel. David was the second king and is known for defeating Goliath and expanding the kingdom of Israel. Solomon was David's son and the third king known for his wisdom and building the Temple in Jerusalem.

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.
A:1 Samuel 16:13 tells of Saul meeting David, son of Jesse, and of Saul anointing David with oil. 1 Samuel 16:21 says that, Saul having sent again for David, David came to him and became his armour bearer. 1 Samuel 17:31-32 says that David came to Saul, proposing to slay Goliath, and Saul gave David his own armour. 1 Samuel 17:58 then says that after killing Goliath, David came again to Saul, but Saul did not even recognise him. The author of this particular narrative seems unaware that elsewhere in the book, David had already been the king's armour bearer and then his personal musician.
Saul chased David for several years, around 8-10 years. Their conflict began when David defeated Goliath and continued until Saul's death in battle against the Philistines.
