God’s disparate treatment of David vs. Saul

Can anyone point me to treatment by Steve (or something else good) that deals with the relative treatment of Saul and David and why David’s personal sins including sexual and murderous acts were forgiven while Saul’s disobedience was treated so harshly? Something dealing with the oft-alleged arbitrary nature beyond simply “God is sovereign and can give Saul what he deserved while not giving David what he deserved if he wants to” (that’s how RC Sproul seems to deal with it).
Most discussions about Saul’s disobedience deal with the problem of God’s dealing with the Amelekites and not why Saul’s disobedience was so harshly dealt with compared with David.
