Saul finds himself being inept at leading, mostly because he keeps pissing God off by not being super meticulous with how he kills animals and sets them on fire. This causes Israel to be conquered by the Philistines once again until Saul's son Jonathan stirs up enough trouble to liberate them again. Saul then is tasked with murdering an entire group of people called the Amalekites, but spares a few animals to set on fire to make God happy. This begins his downfall.
