So Saul died for his transgression, etc.] ((See Gill on “<093113>1 Samuel 31:13”)) A violent and dishonourable death, which was suffered on account of the sins he was guilty of: one was, which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not; both in not staying for Samuel the time appointed, and by sparing the Amalekites whom he was bid to destroy, (<091313>1 Samuel 13:13,14 15:3,9) and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it; what he should do with respect to engaging in battle with the Philistines, (<092808>1 Samuel 28:8,15) which to do was contrary to an express command of God, (<031931>Leviticus 19:31).
