Sauls reign as Israels king was rocky to say the least. During a battle with the Philistines, Saul acted out of fear and offered a burnt offering, instead of waiting on Samuel to arrive (1 Sam. 13:5-9). Samuel said, Thou hast dont foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee (1 Sam. 13:13). Additionally, Samuel prophesied that Saul would be replaced as king with a man after Gods own heart (1 Sam. 13:14). Needless to say, things werent going well...
