God Touches the Heart
Commentators emphasize that Saul's initial support came from men "whose hearts God had touched." This highlights a key theological point: God not only chooses leaders but also sovereignly moves the hearts of people to support His chosen plan. Matthew Henry draws a parallel, suggesting that just as God moved these men to follow Saul, He also touches the hearts of believers, making them willing to follow Christ.
