3. King Saul was disobedient to God in not fully executing the Malakites as instructed. – 1 Samuel 28 vs 18. – And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lordanswered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
4. King Saul consulted evil priests, the witch of Endor which is a sin of paganism and idolatry – 1 samuel 28 vs 7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
