A tall young man went searching for lost donkeys and came home anointed as Israel's first king.
Saul was out looking for his father's missing donkeys when God directed him to Samuel, who privately anointed him king.

He proved himself shortly after by rallying Israel to rescue the city of Jabesh Gilead from an Ammonite siege.
