After God rejected Saul as king, he reigned for about 10 more years before his death. Saul's decline is marked by his increasing desperation and paranoia, particularly regarding David. Ultimately, he died in battle against the Philistines on Mount Gilboa. This period highlights the tragic consequences of his disobedience to God.
