Samuel instructed Saul to wait for him to perform the sacrifice before going into battle. There were only 600 men with Saul, while the Philistines had 30,000 chariots, 6,000 horsemen, and so many individuals they couldn't be counted. When Samuel didn't arrive at the appointed time, Saul's men started leaving.
Saul didn't obey and did the sacrifice himself. Right after he did that, Samuel came and asked, "What have you done?" Prepared people perform. Unprepared people explain. They have many excuses.What is unfaithful in God's eyes can usually be viewed as faithful in man's.
The will of God was for Saul to win the battle. Notice the people were scattering, but Saul was still there. Although he was victorious in battle doesn't mean things were right. Operating in this area, all we see is that something needs to be done, not what God wants done.
