In the book of 1 Samuel, the 15th verse, Saul is ordered by Samuel to completely destroy the Amalekites. Nothing was to be left standing, no women and children, and even all of the cattle.
Saul fought hard and won, except the fact he let the king live and took him into custody, and also let the best cattle live. Saul thought he was doing a great thing--can't fault him there--as he offered a sacrifice to the Lord from the cattle.
Samuel was furious with Saul for diobeying an order from God.
