Saul's jealousy turns to fearful awe to just plain old fear. Saul, it seems does not understand the concept of doing for the good of all people. He's a jealous man, a jealous king, looking to be #1 in the eyes of the all the people. He has an ego and that ego is telling him that David is stealing his parade.
So in jealousy, Saul tries to kill David with his spear twice and then by sending him out to kill 100 Philistines with the hopes that they will kill David. All of this to no avail. The Spirit of the LORD is with David and David succeeds in all that he does. The people love David. Saul's children Jonathan and Michal love David.
