  1. Compare this vial of oil with the anointing oil in Exodus 30:22-24. What might account for the differences in oils?
  2. What is the meaning of the place “Beit El”? Who else in the Bible had prophetic inspiration in this place?
  3. What does the expression “and God gave him another heart” mean in I Samuel 10:9?
  4. Why did Samuel write down the “manner of the kingdom” and why did he place it “before the Lord”?
