I Samuel 16:10-13
Excerpted from: 'I Will Pour Out My Spirit!'So the anointing oil poured over David's head stood for holiness, and it was used to set people or objects apart for God's service as David was at that point. Each king and high priest of Israel was anointed with oil, and this commissioned him as God's representative to the nation. Although God rejected Saul's kingship by not allowing his descendants to sit on Israel's throne, Saul remained in his position until his death. God allowed an evil spirit to torment Saul as judgment for his disobedience, and this demonstrated God's power over the spirit world as well. So continuing in I Samuel 16:14 which has to do with the distressing spirit troubling Saul.
I Samuel 16:10-13
Excerpted from: Psalm 51 (Part Two): Psalm 51:1-4So what we see here is God's choice. The one that He wanted. And He gave him His Spirit, and David used it, unlike Saul. You can say while he was ecstatic there among the prophets, he was kind of using it, but he never used it in the right ways. But David had a heart that would use it. God looked on David's heart and saw a person, an individual that He could work with. David would yield to God.
