Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Then the Lord spoke his word to Samuel: ¹¹ "I am sorry I made Saul king, because he has stopped following me and has not obeyed my commands." Samuel was upset, and he cried out to the Lord all night long. ¹² Early the next morning Samuel got up and went to meet Saul. But the people told Samuel, "Saul has gone to Carmel, where he has put up a monument in his own honor. Now he has gone down to Gilgal." ¹³ When Samuel came to Saul, Saul said, "May the Lord bless you! I have obeyed the Lord 's commands." ¹⁴ But Samuel said, "Then why do I hear cattle mooing and sheep bleating?" ¹⁵ Saul answered, "The soldiers took them from the Amalekites. They saved the best sheep and cattle to offer as sacrifices to the Lord your God, but we destroyed all the other animals." ¹⁶ Samuel said to Saul, "Stop! Let me tell you what the Lord said to me last night." Saul answered, "Tell me." ¹⁷ Samuel said, "Once you didn't think much of yourself, but now you have become the leader of the tribes of Israel. The Lord appointed you to be king over Israel. ¹⁸ And he sent you on a mission. He said, ‘Go and destroy those evil people, the Amalekites. Make war on them until all of them are dead.' ¹⁹ Why didn't you obey the Lord ? Why did you take the best things? Why did you do what the Lord said was wrong?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord sent thee on a journey,.... And therefore he ought to have attended to the errand sent upon, and executed the orders given; in vain, therefore, was it to lay the blame on the people:

and said, go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites; those notorious sinners, who deserve no mercy at the hands of God or men; who had so highly offended the Lord, and had been so injurious to his people at their first coming out of Egypt. The orders were plain, not to be mistaken, and full and strong for the utter destruction of them without any exception, and therefore nothing could be pleaded in excuse for the violation of them:

and fight against them until they be consumed; entirely; they were not to be left until an end was made of them; or "until they had consumed them" d, the people of Israel, or the soldiers with Saul.

d עד כלותם אתם "donec consumant ipsi eos", Pagninus; so Vatablus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The sinners - As though God would justify His commission to destroy them. (Compare Genesis 13:13.)
