BRAGADAYJAH 832
Now, when Saul had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place; and there he met his uncle who asked him where he had been. And Saul told him to seek after his father's asses which were missing; and that when he could not find them, he went to ask advice from Samuel.  And Saul's uncle asked Saul to tell him what Samuel said to him.  And Saul told his uncle that Samuel spoke to him plainly and told him where the assess were to be found, omitting to tell his uncle any reference regarding the matter of the kingdom. From what has gone before, we know that Samuel had anointed Saul and told him what the Lord's purpose for him was.  Also the Lord was with Saul from that time; but Saul was not yet publicly acclaimed.  The significance of this, therefore, is plainly that before one can begin to assume public office as a servant of God, that person has to be under the anointing of God's Holy Spirit, symbolized in olden days by the anointing oil such as that poured on Saul by Samuel.
