How do we know God's sovereignty in choosing Israel's kings is true?

Answered in 1 source

The Scriptures consistently affirm God's sovereign choice in establishing Israel's monarchy.

The sovereignty of God in appointing kings over Israel is remarkably illustrated in the accounts of Saul, David, and Solomon, which confirm His divine will at work throughout history. For instance, Saul was chosen not only as a response to Israel's demand for a king but to teach them about the consequences of rejecting God's direct rule. The rejection of Saul is equally significant, as it illustrates God's control over human affairs, allowing him to demonstrate the futility of reliance on human strength. Furthermore, David's anointing and reign reflect God's promise that from his lineage would come the Messiah. The consistent theme of divine election throughout these narratives provides a solid foundation for understanding God's sovereignty in history.
