“Therefore, He killed him [Saul] and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.” (1 Chronicles 10:14)
If you read the details of Saul’s death, Saul committed suicide. Saul killed Saul.
But why did he die? God had decided to turn the kingdom over to David because of Saul’s unfaithfulness.
In the history of humanity, even the most powerful of players are just chess pieces. God controls the board.
