Notes
Saul soon found out who the other person was (1 Samuel 18:8–9; compare with chapter 16).
Saul admitted his wrongdoing, but it was too late and he still made excuses.
After Saul disobeyed God by not completely destroying the Amalekites, God rejected him more strongly than before (see 1 Samuel 13:8–14).
