These signs were meant to confirm God's choice of Saul as king. In the biblical context, signs often serve as divine confirmation of God's will or presence, as seen with Moses (<a href="/exodus/4.htm">Exodus 4:1-9</a>) and Gideon (<a href="/judges/6-36.htm">Judges 6:36-40</a>). The fulfillment of these signs would assure Saul of God's guidance and the authenticity of his anointing.<p><b>do as the occasion demands</b><br>This instruction implies that Saul should act according to the circumstances he encounters, using wisdom and discernment. It suggests a reliance on God's guidance rather than rigid adherence to a predetermined plan. This principle is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to walk by the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-16.htm">Galatians 5:16</a>) and to be wise in their actions (<a href="/ephesians/5-15.htm">Ephesians 5:15-17</a>).<p><b>for God is with you</b><br>This assurance of God's presence is a recurring theme in Scripture, often given to leaders and prophets to encourage them in their divine missions. It echoes God's promise to Joshua (<a href="/joshua/1-9.htm">Joshua 1:9</a>) and later to the disciples of Jesus (<a href="/matthew/28-20.htm">Matthew 28:20</a>). The presence of God signifies divine support, guidance, and empowerment, which is crucial for fulfilling God's purposes. This phrase also foreshadows the ultimate Emmanuel, "God with us," in the person of Jesus Christ (<a href="/matthew/1-23.htm">Matthew 1:23</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/samuel.htm">Samuel</a></b><br>A prophet and judge of Israel who anointed Saul as the first king of Israel.
