1 Samuel 11:6 7 report the beginning of Saul s public life and demonstrate his leadership over Israel. However, the verses do not clearly indicate his role in the specific events related in verses 1 11. This article clarifies Saul s idealised kingly leadership by examining some of the literary-critical issues of 1 Samuel 11:1 11 in their broader context. Saul s leadership was then considered against its larger ancient Near Eastern context. The article aimed to show that both Saul s religious authority and also his political ability were welcomed in his emerging kingship
