[edit] Anointment of Dovid

When Shmuel saw that Dovid had a reddish complexion, he thought this indicated murderous traits which would make him unfit for royalty. Hashem answered that he would sit by the Sanhedrin which have the right to use murder in holiness, as the death sentence when applicable. [1]

Shmuel Hanavi is buried in the Rama, his home during his life, in the outskirts of Yerushalaim right after the Ramot neighborhoods.
