Anointed is what Jesus is - the Christ, the anointed one - in the sense David was anointed before He became king. Saul was first king of ancient Israel but God had rejected him due to only partial obedience he had shown to the carrying out of God's instructions so God had David anointed ready to take over when Saul inevitably would eventually die. David suffered greatly under Saul due to the jealousy Saul understandably had for him but God was with David and the Spirit stopped Saul having David killed. With Jesus the hatred and jealousy of others led to His death but God raised Him up and has Him ready to take over as king once Jesus defeats the kings by His coming again to reign. Soon.
