And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.After becoming displeased with Saul, God selects David as the next king of Israel.

~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Because Tao is impartial and available to all, Tao has no preferences.
Leaders are chosen by people.
