1 Samuel 10:23-27

So they ran and took him from there, and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.

Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the Lord has chosen? Surely there is no one like him among all the people.” So all the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”

Then Samuel told the people the ordinances of the kingdom, and wrote them in the book, and placed it before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his house.

Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the valiant men whose hearts God had touched went with him.

But certain useless men said, “How can this one save us?” And they despised him and did not bring him a gift. But he kept silent about it.
