A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord--in having spared the king of the Amalekites and taken the flocks of the people as spoils [Sa1 15:9], as well as in having consulted a pythoness [Sa1 28:7]. Both of these acts were great sins--the first as a violation of God's express and positive command [Sa1 15:3], and the second as contrary to a well-known statute of the kingdom (Lev 19:31).

31 Regard [06437] not them that have familiar spirits [0178], neither seek [01245] after wizards [03049], to be defiled [02930] by them: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430].
3 Now go [03212] and smite [05221] Amalek [06002], and utterly destroy [02763] all that they have, and spare [02550] them not; but slay [04191] both man [0376] and woman [0802], infant [05768] and suckling [03243], ox [07794] and sheep [07716], camel [01581] and ass [02543].
7 Then said [0559] Saul [07586] unto his servants [05650], Seek [01245] me a woman [0802] that hath [01172] a familiar spirit [0178], that I may go [03212] to her, and enquire [01875] of her. And his servants [05650] said [0559] to him, Behold, there is a woman [0802] that hath [01172] a familiar spirit [0178] at Endor [05874].
9 But Saul [07586] and the people [05971] spared [02550] Agag [090], and the best [04315] of the sheep [06629], and of the oxen [01241], and of the fatlings [04932], and the lambs [03733], and all that was good [02896], and would [014] not utterly destroy [02763] them: but every thing [04399] that was vile [05240] and refuse [04549], that they destroyed utterly [02763].
17 And the LORD [03068] hath done [06213] to him, as he spake [01696] by me [03027]: for the LORD [03068] hath rent [07167] the kingdom [04467] out of thine hand [03027], and given [05414] it to thy neighbour [07453], even to David [01732]:
18 Because [0834] thou obeyedst [08085] not the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], nor executedst [06213] his fierce [02740] wrath [0639] upon Amalek [06002], therefore hath the LORD [03068] done [06213] this thing [01697] unto thee this day [03117].

2 Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], I remember [06485] that which Amalek [06002] did [06213] to Israel [03478], how he laid [07760] wait for him in the way [01870], when he came up [05927] from Egypt [04714].
3 Now go [03212] and smite [05221] Amalek [06002], and utterly destroy [02763] all that they have, and spare [02550] them not; but slay [04191] both man [0376] and woman [0802], infant [05768] and suckling [03243], ox [07794] and sheep [07716], camel [01581] and ass [02543].

So the Kenites [07017] departed [05493] from among [08432] the Amalekites [06003].
7 And Saul [07586] smote [05221] the Amalekites [06002] from Havilah [02341] until thou comest [0935] to Shur [07793], that is over against [06440] Egypt [04714].

31 Regard [06437] not them that have familiar spirits [0178], neither seek [01245] after wizards [03049], to be defiled [02930] by them: I am the LORD [03068] your God [0430].
