Saul and the Ark of God

Baldwin: The priest is actually functioning as an intermediary here and it's creating some panic on the Philistine part. Verse 20, then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and went into the battle. And behold, every Philistines sword was against his fellow and there was very great confusion. Baldwin: Why didn't he make use of this priest before? And who knows? But the fact that he doesn't gets him into trouble and it results in him forfeiting his dynasty. Results in Samuel rejecting him as king and God rejected him as king.
