1 Samuel 12:25 warns that persistent wickedness will consume both king and people, fulfilled when Saul's house dies.

Hosea 13:11 explicitly says God gave a king in anger and took him in wrath — directly matching the account of Saul's death as divine judgment.

1 Samuel 31:6 recounts the same event — Saul and his sons die together — providing the parallel narrative from the earlier historical book.

Hosea 13:10 asks where the king is when trouble comes — a question answered by Saul's death, showing the failure of human kings to save.
