King Saul Rises (Level 3 | 97)

We explore the significant transition in Israel's history from the time of the judges to a monarchy. The people of Israel, desiring to be like other nations, ask for a king. God grants their request, leading to the anointing of the first king of Israel, Saul. Despite clear signs from God, Saul initially keeps his kingship secret. Samuel then publicly confirms Saul through a process involving the casting of lots. • Who was chosen as the first king of Israel?SaulDavidSamuelJonathan• From which tribe was Saul?JudahBenjaminEphraimLevi• How did Samuel initially anoint Saul as king?In front of all the peopleBy pouring oil on his head privatelyThrough a dreamBy giving him a crown• What did Saul do after as he was identified as king by Samuel to the people?He immediately accepted the roleHe refused the positionHe hid among the baggageHe demanded a ceremony• How did God confirm His choice of Saul to the people?Through a miracleBy sending fire from heavenThrough the casting of lotsBy speaking audibly to the crowd
