Another Heart

Name Date

Read the Story

Samuel took a vial of oil, poured it on Saul's head, and kissed him. He told Saul that the Lord had anointed him to be prince over His inheritance. Then he gave Saul signs. Men would tell him the donkeys were found. Three men would give him two loaves. A band of prophets would meet him.

Samuel said the Spirit of the Lord would come mightily on Saul, and he would be turned into another man. When Saul turned to leave, God gave him another heart, and all the signs happened that day. Saul prophesied with the prophets, and people asked, Is Saul also among the prophets?

Samuel called the people to Mizpah. He reminded them that by asking for a king they had rejected their God, who saved them. The tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot, then Saul. But when they looked, Saul was hidden among the baggage. The Lord showed them where he was. The people shouted, Long live the king!
