(TEXT : 1 Samuel 16:11)
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.

When God ordered you to become a king, even your own family members and relatives will do everything possible in their power to be against you if they don’t like you or your personality. However, if your head had been fixed from Heaven by God with a crown, you will definitely be crowned and rule as a king. fortunately, been born as a king has a “spiritual influence and backing by God spiritual authority; than just an ordinary man-made king.”
In addition, David was in the feed while the kingship selection was going on between his father, brothers and Prophet Samuel. And of course, left to even Prophet Samuel, Eliab would have been his own choice to be the king instead of David his younger brother; but God rejected all David’s brothers of becoming the king except for David only. Even though, David was in the feed with his father’s sheep, making sure no Lion or Bear showed up to kill any of the sheep under his watch; he was singled out for GOD’S KINGSHIP SELECTION. You might be disqualified as people choice in the palace, but if it is in the will of God for you to become a king, the same people who disqualified you will be the one that God will use to congratulate you if they are still alive to witness you in the palace.
1 Samuel 16:6, 11-13 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’S anointed is before him. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
Finally, David was anointed to become a king was not about prophet Samuel, Judah or the entire people of Israel; but as we can see, the throne was given to David from above and in the collaboration of the TRINITY. Why did it take Israel so long to do this? Believers, regrettably, are not prone to do right, until it’s in their best interest to do so. So, the Elders of Israel will now anoint David to be king over all of Israel, because they think it’s in their best interest.
2 Samuel 2:4
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
2 Samuel 5:3-5 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel. David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
