He disobeyed a direct command to commit complete genocide in 1 Samuel Chapter 15.
The second major step in Saul's downfall was when he disobeyed God's command to completely destroy the Amalekites and their possessions. Saul spared the Amalekite king, Agag, and took some of the best livestock, which went against God's explicit instructions. This disobedience led to God rejecting Saul as king.
God commanded King Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites, including men, women, children, and animals, as punishment for their past sins against the Israelites. However, King Saul spared the Amalekite king Agag and the best of the livestock, which led to God rejecting Saul as king.
God protected David from Saul's attempts to harm him, providing him with wisdom to navigate dangerous situations and securing his safety. God also reassured David of his presence and faithfulness, giving him the strength to endure the challenges he faced.
The king of the Amalekites that Saul spared was Agag. Scripture records that Samuel killed Agag after Saul had failed to carry out God's command to completely destroy the Amalekites.
Saul's sons, Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, did not succeed him as king because they all died in battle against the Philistines, including Saul himself. After Saul's death, David was anointed as the next king of Israel.
THAT is the DEFINITION of sin.....acting in ways that offend God. All sins offend God.
Sin offends God.
Saul of the Old Testament did not. Saul (Paul) of the New Testament did not see God but he heard the voice of Jesus while on the road to Damascus.
No it is not likely as Saul backslides from God.
No i think it was David not Saul.
He did not!
Don't believe in him, silly.
his teacher was god
Eli played a role by letting Samuel talk to god. God then told Samuel that Saul would be the king. Samuel then ammonites Saul with oil and declared Saul was the king.
Samuel, on instructions from God, anointed Saul as King of Israel by pouring oil over his head. He continued to serve in Saul's administration as an adviser, telling him God's will and reprimanding Saul when he does not comply.
David was a man after God's own heart and, despite his sin, showed a willingness to repent which Saul did not.
Saul, though a good king to start, eventually turned away from God, and rejected his word(1 Samuel 15:24-28)
