Whom did God choose to replace Saul as king of Israel?

• A. Samuel
• B. David
• C. Jonathan
• D. Absalom

Answer: (B)

God chose David to replace Saul as king. After Saul’s disobedience, God told Samuel to anoint a new king from Jesse’s family, and Samuel anointed David, the youngest son, in Bethlehem. The Spirit of the Lord came on David, signaling God’s selection, and David would eventually reign as king after Saul’s death. Samuel is the prophet who anointed David, not the one who replaces Saul. Jonathan is Saul’s son and did not become king, and Absalom, David’s son, later rebelled but did not replace Saul.
