Did David keep the commandments more than Saul?

What commandments did Saul break?

David a man after God's heart because he was broken hearted and merciful.

Do you know how many times David broke the laws of Moses?
David was wise that is why he beat Saul and did land where Saul landed even though both broke the Commandments

David was one of the worst characters in the bible. He committed so much crime and atrocious acts. Any Christian or anyone who tries to imitate David today, will end up in the Hague charged with heinous crimes against humanity.

...But what do we really know? God loves who he loves. Jacob was a crook and a betrayer yet God loved him as well.
See how Adeboye has bræin washed you people.

Who did Jacob crook? Don't say Isaac because he was on his own when his mother told him to get the blessings and even helped him achieve it

Any matter concerning God takes priority in in life, he was given to Thanksgiving and he executed God's plans with precision and purpose.

Also, he always sought Gods direction at crossroads in in life thru prayer. So he was man given to prayers.

Especially David.

David and his men killed 200 Philistine men and brought their foreskins to King Saul as proof of the kill and as payment for a bride, when he was only asked to bring 100 (1 Samuel 18). Remember he wasn't a ruler yet here o. Imagine killing men and removing their foreskins. Tueehh.

David was a cruel human being. No Christian should ever imitate him.

I can give countless examples of his wickedness and cruelty in the scripture.

If God can give David wives, then why can't we marry wives?

King David was described as a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14) because, despite his shortcomings,
Read again, he was called a man after God's heart before he started disobeying God and behaving as people behave

If Tinubu sends you to bring 100 dick caps of bandits and you bring 200, Nigerians and even the Hague will praise you.

David, a man after God's heart indeed. A murderer, adulterer like David was not punished for his sins. His unborn child was punished instead. Praise the Lord.
This was said before he murdered and adulterated.

Regardless of all that David did, GOD concluded that he was a Man after his heart, Jesus Christ came from the Family tree 🌴 of David, is not he that runs or wills but God that sheweth Mercy, Since God Almighty declared David a Man after His heart, nothing you or anyone says on Earth is important, God's verdict is final, l actually like David and l like all His PRAYERS AS WELL, David Prayed some of the Most wicked prayers in the Bible, Remember all scriptures was inspired by The Holy Spirit of God, so all the Prayers of David was inspired by The Holy Spirit of God, you are free to disagree with me but God declared David a Man after his heart and that is the conclusion of the matter tongue

I understand your pain. It is because you dont know your ancestry. What if I told you that the original Jews of the bible were black? Yes. The bible is literally a book of your ancestry!

Search out 'School of the Hebrews' on YouTube, you will find teachings and historical facts about the ancestry of the Jews, supported by the bible. Invest time and data in seeking knowledge. Even the recent photographs of Jesus released by the Russian president from their archives shows a black Jesus. The matter is long and the conspiracy is deep. ' My people perish for lack of knowledge '. Na so bible talk am. Stop being bitter and seek to understand.
are you part of those black Hebrew israelite movement that believes God is only going to save them and make whites aka gentiles their slaves

Because David isn't the standard. What God allowed in the life of these prophets/Kings isn't a generally rule

The write-up doesn't add up. Major sin Saul committed was disobedience. Apart, Saul was fulfilling the destiny of destruction already on the office he took up. I feel God is just God and is ways are not ours. He has folks he love and those he abhor. David fornicated, murdered, committed adultery and did every unthinkable thing.


David story is why I don't judge. Some folks are just engraced. No matter what they do grace will still come through for them while some won't do quarter before they fall into the abyss. The Hitlers and society outcast might just be whom God loves and want. The reason behind the grace on David, no man can know.
Wrong.

If you knew the art of Justice and wisdom you would see why David had a different outcome from Saul.

Especially you all agree that Saul failed but you fail to see that God did not really punish him. Unlike David.

Clearly, there is a lot to be learned

How is Jacob a crook and a betrayer in taking something Esau despised and even threw away like it was nothing?

If you have ever taken something thrown away by your brother or sister then you are a crook and betrayer!

But he never repeated any of this sins again you mention. Each sins when God brings his punishment to him,he runs back to God for forgiveness and atonement. While Saul instead of goung back to God sought for witches and wizards

Nonsense talk. No Christian today should imitate David. David was a horrible man and he operated on a different covenant which are different from ours today.

And besides, all scriptures are not inspired by Holy Spirit. There was no Holy Spirit in the old testament scriptures. It was all bloodshed and massacres and inaccuracies in book of Genesis.

I wonder.

David had all the girls he could ever want. Yet, na married woman hin eye dey.

To the point of engineering her hubby to be exposed to the highest possible war front danger to be "cannon fodder".

Bible writers portrayed an adulterer and killer to be "man after God's own heart".

If David was an African man, he would be portrayed like Idi Amin.

Like most Pharaohs (African people), were painted as evil.

Egyptians called their country "KEMET". It means black.

If you want to hide something from Africans, hide it in a book.
