Sir Ector and some think Merlin raised him. Merlin did not raise Arthur. Merlin helped Uther quench his lust for Igraine and therefore conceive Arthur but for a price. Merlin told Uther he would help if Uther consented to give up the child that would be conceived in that union. Uther of course said yes--never mind what Igraine, the mother might feel, but this was a different time from ours! Merlin knew the child--Arthur--was special and assured Uther that the babe would be raised by a man of honor--Ector.

Why did Merlin take King Arthur from king uther?

Arthur was the son of Uther and Ygraine - but Ygraine was NOT Uther's wife when Arthur was conceived. Had Uther and Ygraine had other legitimately conceived children, Aurthr would have been .... "inconvenient", and a potential threat to Uther's other sons. For Arthur's own safety, Merlin took the infant Arthur away to be raised separately. One more point; there is only ONE KING AT A TIME. If Uther was King, then Arthur could not be - and Arthur could not be King while Uther lived.
