There were two men from Ramathaim of Ephraim.
One anointed the first king of Israel, requested by the people, to be as the heathen. The other anointed the last king, rejected and despised by the people, desiring once more to be like the heathen.
The first king died having lost the kingdom, the last king died having established the kingdom. The first was anointed by the one man and ended up in sin, the last was anointed by the other man after he had become sin. One anointed in life, the other anointed in death.
The two kings? King Saul and King Jesus. The two men from Ramathaim? The prophet Samuel and Joseph of Arimathaea.
