'Kingship' in the Bible

Saul told his uncle, "He actually told us that the donkeys had been found," but he did not tell him about the matter of kingship about which Samuel had spoken.

Samuel explained to the people the regulations concerning kingship. He wrote them in a scroll and placed it in the LORD's presence. Then Samuel sent all the people to their own houses.

Then Samuel told the people, "Come, let's go to Gilgal and reaffirm the kingship there."

The period of David's kingship in Hebron lasted seven years and six months.

"Listen to me, Jeroboam and Israel! Don't you know that the LORD God of Israel assigned the kingship over Israel to David and his descendants forever by a salt covenant?

The former can come out of prison to reign, while the latter, even if born to kingship, may become poor.
