1.)We have an incorrect definition of evil. What is the true definition of evil/sin? In essence evil/sin is the absence of God inst it? You've probably heard this analogy before. Scientifically there is no darkness. You cannot measure darkness. What there is, is an absence of light. When you try to measure darkness you are really measuring how much light is not present in something. I believe it is the same with evil/sin. To say something is evil/sin is to say that God is present.
2.)We have a hard time understanding why if God is the creator of all things is there evil/sin in the world. Evil/sin is really a by product of God creating righteousness. As soon as God said "this is right" he created the wrong way or sin. His purpose was not to create sin but to create righteousness. I hope i'm making sense...lol
So back to your question: Why would God send an evil spirit to someone? Did God really send and evil spirit? If God turned his back on Saul and walked away what would Saul be left with using the correct definitions above? There is also more to the story. Saul was really the one turning his back on God by not obeying Gods commands. Saul was allowing sin in his heart and as a result he was drifting further and further away from God. Isaiah 59:1-2 says that our iniquities (sins) separate us from God.
God allowed Saul to be giving over to an evil spirit (Saul's own evil desires) which is what Saul was choosing anyways by not wanting to follow God and wanting to kill David.
