1 Samuel 10:
1 Samuel 16:
It depends on how you define salvation. Saul did lose the Spirit that was given to him.
Did Saul know about resurrection and eternal life?
Saul understood salvation this way, 1 Samuel 11:
1 Samuel 28:
I don't know. But it is not promising for him.
Note that the Spirit was not in him.10 When they came to Gibeah, behold, a group of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied among them.
1 Samuel 16:
Did King Saul lose his salvation?14 Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him.
It depends on how you define salvation. Saul did lose the Spirit that was given to him.
Did Saul know about resurrection and eternal life?
Saul understood salvation this way, 1 Samuel 11:
To him, salvation meant God's physical deliverance, not spiritual eternal life.11 The next day Saul organized the troops into three divisions, and during the morning watch they invaded the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them, until the hottest part of the day. And the survivors were so scattered that no two of them were left together.
12 Then the people said to Samuel, “Who said that Saul should not reign over us? Bring those men here so we can kill them!”
13 But Saul ordered, “No one shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has worked salvation in Israel.”
1 Samuel 28:
That meant that they would be dead like Samuel.19 Moreover, the LORD will give Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me.
Will Saul inherit eternal life?The LORD will give the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”
I don't know. But it is not promising for him.
