How does David show loyalty to Saul even though Saul wants to destroy him?
Saul seemed to realize that God had chosen David as his replacement, but contrary to Saul's belief David never planned any sort of rebellion, only fleeing from Saul when he attacked. In fact, on two occasions David had a chance to kill Saul (once when he was sleeping, once when they were in a dark cave where Saul could not see him) but refused, claiming that Saul was still God's anointed and thus inviolable. When Saul was killed by an Amalekite David had the perpetrator killed.
Did King Saul commit suicide?
In 1 Samual 31:4 you can read the passage in which King Saul took his sword and fell on it. Then the next passage says that his armorbearer saw that King Saul was dead. Then in Samuel 1:9 an Amalekite saw that his (King Saul's) life was still in him. King Saul asked the Amalekite to finish him off.Then in chapter 2 verse 16 David had the Amalekite killed for killing the Lord's anointed.I would think that King Saul attempted suicide and his armorbearer thought he was dead, yet he was not; and when King Saul regained conscience, the Amalekite who had just happened by was aked by King Saul to kill him.Answer: I dont think King Saul commited suicide, I think he was killed, according to what David said to the Amalekite in 2 Samuel 1:16.Answer: From the above accounts it can be seen that Saul's intention was to commit suicide but was unsuccessful. He apparently did not want the Philistines to torture him and so wished to die quickly, hence his request to be dispatched.Answer: It depends on your interpretation of the verse. It says that he "fell on his sword," which could mean that he was pushed and fell onto his sword, he jumped and landed on his sword on purpose or by accident, or he fell and landed on his sword. Something that would make people say that he committed suicide is that in an earlier verse he asked his arms-bearer to kill him, so he probably committed suicide.Answer:It sounds like he meant to kill himself but failed, so he resorted to ordering someone to do it for him, like ancient assisted suicide. To say Saul killed himself make the 2 Sam Amalekite a liar .He would not have continued to lie if he was lying .Instead of being killed .He would have simply said David I did not kill Saul do not kill meAnswer:Jewish tradition is in accordance with the first Answer. Saul is not held blameworthy, since the Philistines had overrun his location and he knew they would torture him.

How did King David overcome his errors?
King David overcame his errors by admitting to them and taking responsibility for them. When Saul committed an error, he blamed it on the people. When he took the Amalekite cattle as booty when he was told not to , he blamed it on his soldiers and refused to take responsibility. In contrast, when David was confronted by the prophet Nathan about his sin of taking Batsheva and sending her husband Uriah to the front after David had impregnated her, David immediately admits to his mistake and says "I sinned." This is how he overcame his errors and why God established the Davidic dynasty through him.
