Saul died in battle kinda under weakened relationship with God bcuz he sought a MEDIUM FOR GUIDANCE! And he broke Faith with God! We HAVE to be mindful of our actions & things we seek & put our faith in! Also, as any Father would, God punishes us for not KEEPIN His commands, esp those of us who have & seek to have knowledge of this & GOD's jealousy & wrath for disobedience!
