Saul wanted to kill David, as he saw that David was getting more popular each day.
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.

King Saul was jealous of David, but Saul offered his daughter, Michal to David as a wife. David said he was too poor to give a dowry to Saul for his daughter, but Saul said he wanted no dowry, but wanted David to avenge him (Saul) upon the Philistines by bringing 100 foreskins of the enemy back to him. But Saul's motive was not what he said, but rather he wanted David to engage in battle with the Philistines in hopes that David would be killed.
