Bart Byl on 1 Samuel 16:1-13.

Series: Christ in the Old Testament

The people of Israel are demanding a king, so they can be like the other nations, even though they’re protected and provided for by God as their king. But God tells Samuel to anoint Saul, a man who stands head and shoulders above everyone else. Saul is the kind of king the people want — the epitome of human strength — but his personal failings bring Israel to disaster. But God has already prepared a new king, David, a man after his own heart.
