DAVID'S RISE AS THE NEW ANOINTED 16:1—19:17According to Swindoll, more was written in the Bible about David than about any othercharacter—66 chapters plus 59 references to his life in the New Testament. 188 This largeamount <strong>of</strong> material reflects his great importance for Bible readers.1. God's selection <strong>of</strong> David for kingship ch. 16"One <strong>of</strong> the many indications that the two halves (vv. 1-13, 14-23) <strong>of</strong>chapter 16 are closely related is that each section is framed by an inclusio:'Horn with/<strong>of</strong> oil' is found in vv. 1 and 13, and the phrase 'Spirit . . .departed from' constitutes the first words <strong>of</strong> v. 14 and the last words <strong>of</strong> v.23 . . ." 189David's anointing 16:1-13This time God's choice was not a king for the people according to their desires, but a kingfor Himself (v. 1) who would put Yahweh first (13:14; cf. Gal. 4:4-5). Saul would haveperceived <strong>Samuel</strong>'s act <strong>of</strong> anointing another man king as treason (v. 2). He showed moreconcern for his own interests than for the will <strong>of</strong> God. Evidently <strong>Samuel</strong> had gained areputation as an executioner since he had killed Agag (v. 4; cf. 15:33).188 Charles R.
