Mar 22, 2021 · Zechariah was right: “[The Lord] has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David” (Luke 1:69).
Samuel used the hollow horn of a cow to store the oil for his journey. Since Saul’s attitude had changed, Samuel didn’t know how he might react to Samuel anointing someone else to be king. God advised Samuel to make a sacrifice in Bethlehem, which would be the obvious reason for his journey.
After quite a long wait, in came the youngest son, David. “This is the guy I want,” God said. “Anoint him by pouring the oil on his head!”. Samuel brought David near to him, took his horn full of oil and started to pour it over David’s head.
This story of David’s humble origins came to epitomize the ideal king. A ruler who wasn’t exalted over Israel by human expectations or standards. Rather, he was elevated by God’s own grace and surprising creativity.
