First Chronicles 10:14 says, "He [Saul] did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse." But 1 Samuel 28:6 says “when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him.” I.e., the verse in 1 Chronicles 10 is saying just the opposite, namely, “he [Saul] did not inquire of the Lord; therefore He killed him.” But how can both be true?
