I am sorry that you cannot understand historical writing. It should be clear to anyone who tries to understand the conflict between Saul and David that Saul was madly jealous of David (whom the people thought to be a better warrior than Saul) and repeatedly attempted to destroy him. He was deeply offended by Jonathon's love of David and repeated attempts to help David survive Saul's plots and attacks. David's reaction is far less clear because the history was written by David's supporters and descendants. Whether or not David forebore from murdering Saul twice when he could easily have done so has nothing to do with David's rebellion against Saul. David's behavior suggests that he was a violent and treacherous person. Hard to believe that he would ignore and forgive Saul's violence against him.
