2 Samuel 2:4: "The men of Judah came, and they anointed David King over the house of Judah." This verse reports David's anointing as king after Saul's death. Like Saul, David was anointed with olive oil to become king. Both events highlight the importance of divine anointing in choosing a leader.
Psalm 89:20: "I found David, my servant, and with my holy oil an anointing him." This verse talks about the anointing of David by God. Saul's anointing in 1 Samuel 10 is similar to David's anointing, showing that the choice of a leader for God is a recurring practice in the history of Israel.
