1 Samuel 9:21

And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, etc.—By selecting a king from this least and nearly extinct tribe (Judges 20:46-48), divine wisdom designed to remove all grounds of jealousy among the other tribes.

1 Samuel 9:20-21

on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?—This was a covert and indirect premonition of the royal dignity that awaited him; and, though Saul's answer shows that he fully understood it, he affected to doubt that the prophet was in earnest.
