Failure of King Saul

Failure of King Saul

  • Saul demonstrated impatience in his leadership i.e he went a head to offer sacrifices to God instead of waiting for Samuel.
  • He failed to obey God’s instructions to destroy everything and spared King Agag of the Amalekits.
  • Saul became jealous and plotted to kill David when he learned that he had been chosen to be the next king of Israel.
  • He consulted a medium so as to communicate with the spirit of Samuel who died, thus breaking the Mosaic Law which forbade divination.
  • He committed suicide when he realized that the philistines would defeat them in battle.  This was a sin against God.
  • He was not repentant of his mistakes.
  • He took the best sheep and cattle from the Amalekites for self-gain; he cheated  Samuel that he wanted to offer the animals as sacrifice to God.
