What are the characteristics and personalities of King Saul as a leader?

Answer:
Initially, he was a reluctant leader yet he was able to later prove himself able by delivering the city of Jabesh-gilead and was acclaimed king at Gilgal. His presumptuous offering (1 Samuel 13:8-14) and violations of a holy war ban lead to his break with Samuel and rejection by God. After the Goliath episode, Saul becomes jealous and fearful of David (1 Samuel 18:7,12), eventually making several spontaneous and indirect attempts on David's life. His final wretched condition is betrayed by his consultation of the witch of Endor.
