Saul's False Repentance

Saul said twice, I have sinned. These are the exact words in the Hebrew that David will later say to the prophet Nathan after David commits adultery with Bathsheba and has Uriah murdered. If you only admit to what you've been caught doing, then it is a false repentance. True repentance confesses all. Saul's repentance should be seen in the same light as Pharaoh's with Moses or Aikens with Joshua.
