Context — Saul Chosen as King
15Now on the day before Saul’s arrival, the LORD had revealed to Samuel,
16“At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you are to anoint him ruler over My people Israel; he will save them from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
17When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke; he shall rule over My people.”
18Saul approached Samuel in the gateway and asked, “Would you please tell me where the seer’s house is?” 19“I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. And when I send you off in the morning, I will tell you all that is in your heart.Cross References

1 Samuel 9:17 Summary
This verse tells us that when Samuel saw Saul, God spoke to him and said that Saul was the man He had chosen to rule over His people. This shows us that God is actively involved in the lives of individuals and nations, and that He has a plan to accomplish His purposes, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. Just like Samuel, we can trust that God is speaking to us and guiding us, even when we don't always understand what's happening, and we can look to verses like Proverbs 3:5-6 for guidance on trusting in God's sovereignty.
Frequently Asked Questions
How did Samuel know that Saul was the man God had chosen to rule over His people?
God revealed it to Samuel, as seen in 1 Samuel 9:17, where the LORD told him, 'Here is the man of whom I spoke; he shall rule over My people.' This was a direct fulfillment of God's promise to Samuel in 1 Samuel 9:15-16.
What was the significance of Samuel seeing Saul before the LORD spoke to him?
The fact that Samuel saw Saul before the LORD spoke to him suggests that God was confirming to Samuel that this was indeed the man He had chosen, as stated in 1 Samuel 9:17, and that Samuel should anoint him as leader over God's people, as instructed in 1 Samuel 9:16.
How did God's revelation to Samuel in 1 Samuel 9:15-16 prepare him for the encounter with Saul in 1 Samuel 9:17?
God's revelation to Samuel in 1 Samuel 9:15-16 prepared him for the encounter with Saul by giving him advance knowledge of the man's identity and purpose, allowing Samuel to confidently affirm God's choice when he met Saul, as seen in 1 Samuel 9:17.
What does this verse teach us about God's sovereignty in the selection of leaders?
This verse teaches us that God is sovereign over the selection of leaders, as seen in 1 Samuel 9:17, where He tells Samuel that Saul is the man He has chosen to rule over His people, demonstrating God's active involvement in the affairs of human history, as also seen in Romans 13:1-2.

- What are some ways that God speaks to us today, and how can we be sure that we are hearing His voice?
- How can we, like Samuel, be attentive to God's voice and respond in obedience to His leading?
- What are some challenges that Saul may have faced as a leader, and how can we learn from his experiences?
- How does this verse relate to the broader theme of God's sovereignty in the Bible, and what implications does it have for our lives?

1 Samuel 9:17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.Ver. 17. This same shall reign over my people.] Heb., Restrain my people, viz, from loose and lewd practices. Princes must do so, or they are guilty of a passive injustice at least. They are called "heirs of restraint."
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Samuel 9:17
(17) Behold the man.—This verse, it must be remembered, follows closely on 1 Samuel 9:14, the statements of 1 Samuel 9:15-16 being parenthetical. The young Saul and his servant came up to accost the seer on his way to the sacred height; Samuel, at once impressed by the great stature and splendid beauty of the stranger coming towards him, asks his Master silently, “Lord, is this then he of whom Thou whisperest me yesterday, to whom the destinies of Thy people were to be confided?” The words “Behold the man,” &c., were the silent answer of God to the silent prayer of His old servant. Shall reign.—The word “shall reign,” which was whispered by the “Spirit” to the listening heart of the seer, should rather have been translated, “shall control,” or “shall restrain.” It was a word which—looking on to Saul’s future reign—represented it as a stern, severe rule.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Samuel 9:17
Verse 17. Behold the man whom I spake to thee of] What an intimate communion must Samuel have held with his God! A constant familiarity seems to have existed between them.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Samuel 9:17
