Saul's last years—he's asking God “Why did you choose me?” What's the final estimate of this man? He did bad things, he did good things. The issues is not that he wasn't perfect, but when he was confronted by sin, he refuses to repent. That's the issue. He does not deal w/ his sin and therefore, his sin eventually destroys him.
