Concept:The first king of Israel, Saul, was rejected by God because of his disobedience.
Explanation:Saul lost his throne not merely because of weakness or inexperience.
His downfall came from disobeying a direct command from Yahweh.
He unlawfully offered a sacrifice instead of waiting for Samuel.

Because of this persistent disobedience, Yahweh withdrew His support from Saul.
The prophet Samuel announced that God had rejected Saul as king.
