* Saul had killed himself.
* This presented an opportunity for this young Amalekite to get in good with the king.
* He saw an opportunity.
* He took credit for something he didn’t do.
* Because of this he lost his life.
* The temptation to take credit comes from a man-pleasing spirit.
* We want others to accept us and approve of us.
* We need to always give God credit for what He does.
* Otherwise it will become our place of death.
