Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
Saul persisted in calling partial obedience total obedience (1 Samuel 14:20). He again placed responsibility for sparing some of the spoils taken in the battle on the people (1 Samuel 14:21), but as king he was responsible for the people’s actions. Saul sometimes took too much responsibility on himself and at other times too little. He tried to justify his actions by claiming that he did what he had done to honor God. He betrayed his lack of allegiance by referring to Yahweh as "your" God, not "our" God or "my" God, twice (cf. 1 Samuel 14:30).
