David was anointed in the midst of his brethren, and never forgot what that felt like.

GOOD QUESTION.

Perhaps another question would be:
ARE THERE OTHER TYPES OF ANOINTNG?

(1) One anointing is receiving the Holy Spirit;
(2) it could also be defined as virtue from the Lord to man, and believer to...?
(3) It's for everyone who believes and *will obey.

It's my contention that there are some who are anointed *before they obey;
while some are just called to fulfill God's Word in some capacity (ie: Lucifer,
and then there's Judas Iscariot).

you bring up another interesting point, that results in another question. The bible calls Judas the "son of Perdition", which if memory serves me, basically means "son of hell". Was Judas predestined to betray Christ, die and then go to hell? Did Judas have a space of repentance? Was Judas an actual 'child' conceived by hell?

Neither Lucifer nor Judas (Iscariot) were "conceived" in hell. But both
were created for a purpose, Lucifer, to condemn iniquity and sin; Judas
(Iscariot), to betray the son of God.

A saint could not be used, but they who would eventually be lost.
