Theological / Devotional

As I happened. The story of the young man does not agree with the account of Saul’s death found in 1 Samuel 31:3-6 (see on 1 Samuel 31:4). The Amalekite invented his tale for the purpose of securing a reward, thinking that his alleged deed would be highly acclaimed by David.

Commentary on 1 Samuel 31:6

Theological / Devotional

Saul died. See 1 Chron. 10:13, 14. Thus ended a life once so bright with promise. The ruin of Saul’s career and the loss of his soul were the results of his own fateful choice. Men are not pieces of inanimate clay in the hands of an arbitrary potter, but sentient beings who voluntarily offer themselves to the guidance of one or the other of two diametrically opposed powers. Saul, by his own volition, had invited the prince of darkness to control him. His master had paid him his wages.
