📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of 1 Samuel, the Israelites had been demanding a king to rule over them, rejecting God's direct leadership through judges, as they wanted to be like other nations. Samuel, as the last judge and a prophet, was instructed by God to anoint Saul, a young man from the tribe of Benjamin, to become Israel's first king. This anointing with oil was a cultural and religious practice in ancient Israel, symbolizing God's divine selection and empowerment for leadership over His people.
