Thank you kindly.
Confusion is understandable without further study.Thank you both for your responses. i had the most difficult time understanding why it wasn't a good thing for Saul to "honor" God with what he did....
it has been difficult for me to understand many parts of the Old Testament, including everything about Saul and I Samuel.
Thank you kindly.
It is a great mistake to suppose that Saul was damned, or any of the Jews who fell into disobedience. The blessings of obedience were temporal and the punishments for disobedience were temporal....
And also Saul did reign for the full 40 years and had many victories.....read David's lamentation for Saul.

Thank you kindly.
It confuses me.....just wondering if Saul was a Godly man....
David, from what i understand honored Saul's position as king throughout Saul's reign as king and even after Saul died he honored him as king, even after Saul had conspired against David and attempted to kill David numerous times (even after David demonstrated that he would never intend harm against Saul).
Yes, David lamented Saul and Saul's son (David's best friend) Jonathan, upon their deaths.
What i wonder, is if Saul would've done the same for David.
It seems tragic to me.
Thank you kindly.
David's action toward Saul was his keeping with the Law of God.
It's interesting however how David used the very same tactic Saul tried unsuccessfully to have David killed in battle, David used this on Uriah.
Yes his first sin was he shoulda waited for Samuel, he was in fact grasping to himself Samuel's office as prophet.
But then the offering was an offering of things that were cursed, God had ordered them to be destroyed....it was the offering of Cain.
Yes, that was loathe-some and wicked. Uriah would've given his life for David. He was one of David's best men.
