No i think it was David not Saul.
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.
No it is not likely as Saul backslides from God.
Ahijah was a priest in the Old Testament. 1Samauel 14:18 And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring the ark of God here" (for at that time the ark of God was with the children of Israel).
Here God chose Saul as king , but Samuel anointed him 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.
The difference between King David and saul was that david listened to god and even repented again and again. But it was not so with Saul.

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.
-King Saul refuse to listen to god and David listened to God-Saul was a farmer-warrior and David was a Shepard also Saul sinned and David did not ever *-Saul and David were both great warriors-They were thought as the chosen ones from God*2 Samuel 12:13 - David said to Nathan, "Ihave sinned against the LORD." Nathan replied, "The LORD has taken away your sin. You are not going to die.*1 Chronicles 21:8 - David said to God, "I have sinned greatly by doing this. Now, I beg you, take away the guilt of your servant. I have done a very foolish thing."David sinned plenty!
Samuel.
Noah listened to god and built the Ark accordingly to what God said.
He failed in 1 Samuel Chapter 15 to completely slaughter and annihilate the Amalekites as God had ordered him. Therefore, God removed the kingship from King Saul.
