The prophet Samuel spoke these words to Saul:
1 Samuel 15:22
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

Did all people obey the king in the middle age?
No, would you obey a king? I wouldn't.
What is the mission of Samuel?
'Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; make war on them until you have wiped them out.' 19 Why did you not obey the LORD? Why did you pounce on the plunder and do evil in the eyes of the LORD?" 20 "But I did obey the LORD," Saul said. "I went on the mission the LORD assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king. 21 The soldiers took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was devoted to God, in order to sacrifice them to the LORD your God at Gilgal." 22 But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king." 24 Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned. I violated the LORD's command and your instructions. I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them. 25 Now I beg you, forgive my sin and come back with me, so that I may worship the LORD." 26 But Samuel said to him, "I will not go back with you. You have rejectedthe word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you as king over Israel!" 27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore. 28 Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors--to one better than you.Answer:The above answer seems mistaken, since the mission it describes (1 Samuel ch.15) was one given to Saul, not to Samuel.The mission of Samuel was to guide the Israelite people. He was the last of the Judges and an early prophet. Among other things, he appointed the first two kings (Saul and then David) at the word of God.

When Saul did not obey God by utterly destroying the amelekites and all their possessions what was his penalty?
Saul apparently was afraid of the people When asked why he had not obeyed Jehovah's voice (or as some prefer YAHWEH) (God) , Saul disclaimed guilt and shifted the blame onto the people. Only after Samuel emphasized the serious nature of the sin and said that, because of it, Jehovah (God) was rejecting him as king did Saul acknowledge that his error was the result of his fearing the people According to First Samuel 15:26, Saul's punishment for not killing all the Amalekites was the loss of Samuel's support and more importantly, God would take the kingdom of Israel from him and give it to another
