Answer Details
Saul was rejected as king over Israel because he disobeyed God's command to utterly destroy the Amalekites.
In the Bible, the book of 1 Samuel chapter 15, God commanded Saul, the first king of Israel, to attack and completely destroy the Amalekites and all their possessions as a punishment for their past sins against the Israelites. However, Saul and his army spared the Amalekite king and kept some of their valuable possessions.
As a result of Saul's disobedience, God rejected him as king over Israel and chose someone else to be the next king. This event shows the importance of obedience to God's commands and the consequences of disobedience.
