We only read of its being done on some very marked occasions. Thus Saul, the first king, was anointed (<span class='bible'>1Sa 10:1<\/span>), and David, the king of God&rsquo;s own choice (<span class='bible'>1Sa 16:13<\/span>); also when God orders the prophet Elijah to make provision for a new succession in Israel, Jehu is to be anointed (<span class='bible'>1Ki 19:16<\/span>), which was done when the proper time came (<span class='bible'>2Ki 9:3<\/span>; <span class='bible'>2Ki 9:6<\/span>); so Joash after his preservation was anointed by Jehoiada (<span class='bible'>2Ch 23:11<\/span>). But though unmentioned it may have been performed in other cases. For &lsquo;anointing&rsquo; is mentioned even in Jotham&rsquo;s parable (<span class='bible'>Jdg 9:8<\/span>), where the trees will choose them a king. The ceremony is intended to symbolize the outpouring of gifts from above upon the new monarch.<\/p>\n<p><em> blow ye with the trumpet<\/em> ] Thus did Jehu&rsquo;s companions after his anointing (<span class='bible'>2Ki 9:13<\/span>); neither anointing nor the blowing of the trumpets has been mentioned in connexion with Adonijah&rsquo;s faction.

Probably, as in the appointment of Saul and David himself, the right to anoint was recognised as belonging to the prophetic order (see <span class='bible'>1Ki. 19:16<\/span>), inasmuch as it signified the outpouring of the Holy Spirit of the Lord. (Comp. <span class='bible'>Act. 10:38<\/span>.) Hence, in the absence of Nathan, it could not be attempted. In the case of David, such anointing had marked (<span class='bible'>1Sa. 16:13<\/span>) his first private designation for the kingdom by Samuel, and his public accession to royalty, first over Judah (<span class='bible'>2Sa. 2:4<\/span>), then over all Israel (<span class='bible'>2Sa. 5:3<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>The completeness of the old Kings provision is especially to be noticed.

It is of more importance to observe, that this unction signified not only the designation of the person anointed to his office, but the gifts and graces which were necessary to qualify him for it, and which, seeking them sincerely of God, he might expect to receive. We do not find, says Henry, that Abiathar pretended to anoint Adonijah: he was made king by a feast, not by unction. Whom God calls, he will qualify, which was signified by the anointing: usurpers had it not. Christ signifies anointed, and he is the king whom God hath set upon his holy hill of Zion, according to the decree, Psa 2:6-7.
