What does 1 Samuel 9:24 mean?

The cook brought out the thigh and what was on it and set it in front of Saul. Samuel said, 'This is the special portion I saved for you. Eat, because it was set aside for you for this occasion, ever since I invited the guests.' So Saul ate with Samuel that day. 1 Samuel 9:24 - Modern Text Bible

(Saul is given the best part of the meal, a sign of honor and destiny. Samuel makes it clear this was all arranged for Saul.)
