agag
The king of the Amalekites that Saul spared was Agag. Scripture records that Samuel killed Agag after Saul had failed to carry out God's command to completely destroy the Amalekites.
The second major step in Saul's downfall was when he disobeyed God's command to completely destroy the Amalekites and their possessions. Saul spared the Amalekite king, Agag, and took some of the best livestock, which went against God's explicit instructions. This disobedience led to God rejecting Saul as king.
God commanded King Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites, including men, women, children, and animals, as punishment for their past sins against the Israelites. However, King Saul spared the Amalekite king Agag and the best of the livestock, which led to God rejecting Saul as king.
False. David spared Saul's life twice, not five times. The first time was in the cave at En Gedi (1 Samuel 24), and the second time was at Ziph (1 Samuel 26).
God protected David from Saul's attempts to harm him, providing him with wisdom to navigate dangerous situations and securing his safety. God also reassured David of his presence and faithfulness, giving him the strength to endure the challenges he faced.
Saul's sons, Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, did not succeed him as king because they all died in battle against the Philistines, including Saul himself. After Saul's death, David was anointed as the next king of Israel.

He failed in 1 Samuel Chapter 15 to completely slaughter and annihilate the Amalekites as God had ordered him. Therefore, God removed the kingship from King Saul.
The Amalekites (who survived Saul's partial conquest) raided and burned the city of Ziklag, and carried away two of David's wives. See 1 Samuel ch.30-31.
Most of King Saul's battles were against the Philistines, and he gained a number of victories. Other victories were earned in battles against the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites and Amalekites.

Because Saul (the first king) disobeyed certain instructions. He offered up an offering without waiting the entire seven days for Samuel's return (see 1 Samuel 10:8 and 13:8-14); and he spared Agag in the battle against the Amalekites (1 Samuel ch.15).
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
Because King Saul sinned after he attacked the Amalekites (1 Samuel 13) God rejected him and sent the prophet Samuel to appoint David son of Jesse.
After Saul disobeyed in the battle with the Amalekites, his spiritual state was one of disobedience and rebellion against God's commands. This act led to his downfall and eventually losing favor with God. Saul's actions demonstrated a lack of faith and humility before God.
Because Saul disobeyed God .God commanded King Saul to; " Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." 1 Samuel 15:3.But Saul spared King Agag. 15:9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.And the Lord repented that He made Saul King. 15:35...and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
Not very well. He did not destroy the Amalekites as God commanded him to.
