1 Samuel 10:19

Your God, who himself saved you, &c. By raising up judges whenever you cried to him for help, who never failed to conquer your enemies. Ye have said unto him, Nay, &c. When he desired you to continue under his government you refused, and would not be denied in what you asked. Now, therefore, &c. He puts them upon choosing their king by lot, that all might know God had chosen Saul, (for the disposal of the lot is of the Lord,) and to prevent all dispute and exception.
