Greetings,

Background: I am a follower of the Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) faith.

I wonder if you can tell me what the stand of the Judaic faith is regarding Saul.

I have had a Jewish person (whose son in law is a Rabbi) tell me that Saul is esteemed. Is that true?
This person used words to describe Saul such as, "confused" and "unbalanced". To me this undermines G-d's edict that Saul became His enemy.

If so, how can one esteem Saul after he repeatedly, with malice aforethought, tried to kill David personally and by conspiracy, not to mention break G-d's law and disobey His commandments?

I found this person's comment on how great Saul was very disturbing.

It seems to me that Saul became a criminal, disobeyed G-d, attempted murder, murdered Ahimelech, the other priests, and men women and children, including babies, and all the livestock. Four score and 5, isn't that 85 people in all because Ahimelech gave a sword and bread to David who was fleeing the murderous Saul?

You seem more than lucid and qualified to answer. I have read some of your posts and you appear to be very knowledgable.

I hope you are not offended by my fervor or my questions. Even though I am neither Christian or Jew this issue is very important to me for reasons I cannot explain. Perhaps it is my deep regard for David and all that he accomplished.

Thank you for any guidance you can offer.
Fortuna
