Saul’s Punishment

Thanks for your anwwer. One more question. When Saul made burnt offering, Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the LORD your G-d gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.” What was the commandment Saul did not obey? I thought he was abandoned because he made offering even though he was not a priest.

Thanks.

Answer:

The commandment that Saul did not obey was the obligation to wipe out Amalek. Saul failed to complete this mission when he spared Agag, the king of Amalek, and it was for this that he was punished in losing his kingdom.
