1 SAMUEL 10:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.”
And they ran and fetched him thence — the assembly goes to find Saul where he is hidden. and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward — the text returns to Saul's physical stature, noted in 9:2. Saul's height makes him conspicuous and suitable to the people's desire for a visible, impressive king. The physical elevation mirrors what should be his spiritual elevation through anointing.
