After be announced a king of Israel, Saul was living as usual, work in his fields.
Jabesh Gilead asked for help for Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged them, then they sent help message to Israel, the Spirit of God came upon him in power and he burned with anger. The terror of the Load fell on the people, it cause Israelite turned out as one man. There were 300 thousand men gathered.
God helped Saul and Israelite to attack Ammonite, during the last watch of the night they broke into the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat of the day.
After this war, Saul was confirmed as king in the presence of the Load.
To be a king of Israel, people said to Samuel," kill some men despised him and brought him no gifts when he was announced a king. Saul have mercy on those people, for this day the Lord has rescued Israel. Saul knew is the Load saved Israel, was not by his power.
Why?
For perhaps the first time since Joshua the nations is united.
King is a man, who should living as usual, people be called by his name the title is the relationship, that is not real name, relationship is a gift that given by the Load.
Saul to be a real king was started and be done by the Load. Saul just did whatever his hand finds to do. Holy Spirit may work through our inner mind.
In the begging of a king, Saul was humble before the Load.
How?
The name is more important than the title or the relationship. The Load know us by our name.
Holy Spirit may work through our mind when we do it peace.
