"I will not put forth mine hand against my lord, for he is the lords anointed."
Because Saul was not completely obedient to God. In the battle against Amalek, which God had commanded explicitly, Saul didn't finish the job (1 Samuel ch.15; and see also Exodus ch.17 and Deuteronomy 25:17-19).
Although previously anointed by Samuel, while Saul was still King, David ascended the throne at Hebron (over Judah and Benjamin) in 1011 BC. He ruled there till 1004, when he became King over the united kingdom at Jerusalem. He ruled the united kingdom of Israel till 971 BC.
It was the quail.
they broke up a while ago
Saul's family line thought that they should still inherit being king even though David was anointed by God to be the next king. So when after Saul and Jonathan and several others of Saul's sons were murdered in battle, Saul's son Ishbosheth took his place while David was king in Hebron for seven and a half years. Then he finally became king over all Israel, stationed in the captured city Jerusalem, for 33 years. so he was a king for a total of 40 years.
Ish Bosheth, the son of Saul, ruled the northern tribes for two years after Saul, while David at the same time ruled Judah and later became king over all the Israelites.
Many of the Israelites served God and obeyed the prophets, while others ignored them. The people of Judah were more righteous than the Ten Tribes; and some generations (such as those of David, Hezekiah and Josiah) were better than others.
Right now David Tennant is still doing acting. A while ago he was in Hamlet and has been in some mini series. He is also going to host "Red Nose", where it shows some mini-episodes of Doctor Who with Matt Smith. He is still in the acting business, and hopefully will be for quite a while now.
It's because Adonijah, one of David's sons, had appointed himself king. In order to save the life of Solomon and himself, David appointed him as king.
