How do we know that David was anointed by God?

Answered in 1 source

David was anointed king by Samuel, and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him at that moment.

David's anointing as king is recorded in 1 Samuel 16:13, where it states, '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.' This significant event marked David as chosen by God, illustrating God's selection of a man after His own heart (Acts 13:22). His anointing was not only a public declaration of his future role but also demonstrated the presence and empowerment of the Holy Spirit in his life, enabling him for the task ahead. David's subsequent victories and leadership confirm God's blessing upon him.
