King Saul noticed that David was increasing in popularity as war-hero and therefore jeopardized the right of his lineage to rule. Only by killing David could he ensure that his son Jonathan would succeed him as King of Israel. Saul's fears proved correct when David inherited Saul's throne upon the latter's death in the Battle of Mt. Gilboa. (It is worth noting that Jonathan and all of Saul's other sons also died in that battle.) It should be noted that Saul is seen not as a wicked man, but as a righteous man (Talmud, Moed Katan 16b) who erred.
