קבלה אויף שמואל א 15:30

We find this about the great sage, Yeravam, that because he sought power, both he and his descendants were uprooted from this world, nor does he have a portion in the coming world. Similarly, when Shaul, the chosen one of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, began his reign, he was as pure as a one-year-old child who has never tasted sin.⁵⁰⁰Talmud Bavli, Yoma 22b Moreover, as the verse attests, when they sought to crown him as king,⁵⁰¹Samuel I 10:22 “He hid amongst the baggage,” in that he fled from power. Nevertheless, he was ultimately caught in its net and pursued it, as he said to the Prophet Shmuel,⁵⁰²Samuel I 15:30 “Please honor me in the presence of the elders of my people.” In the end he lost the kingdom and he was killed along with three of his sons, as mentioned before in the section on envy.
