Saul’s war with the Amalekites was called Holy War because
Answer Details
Saul's war with the Amalekites was called Holy War because Yahweh ordered total destruction. According to the Bible, in 1 Samuel 15, God commanded Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites and all that belonged to them, sparing nothing. This was seen as a holy war because it was fought for a religious purpose and was sanctioned by God. Saul was supposed to completely devote the Amalekites and their possessions to destruction as an act of obedience to God. However, Saul spared some of the spoils of war, which angered God and resulted in his downfall.
