Over the last few weeks in 1 Samuel, we have seen how Israel got their first King. Their request for a king had not been appropriate because it was motivated by a desire to have a king like the nations around them. It was a rejection of God as their king. The Lord called them out for this, but agreed to give them a king such as they demanded. Nevertheless, He made it clear that the king would be under His authority. Some people were not pleased with this and wondered how such a king could save them. The Kings of the nations did not answer to prophets or to God—they were the king! These men asked the question, "How can this man save us?" (1 Sam 10:27). That question is answered in chapter 11.
