Shaul Loses the Kingship
Exegetical Approaches
Kept Agag Alive
Severity of the sin:
- Shaul thought he was more just than Hashem – Bavli Yoma and Yalkut Shimoni suggest that Shahul thought he could decide who needs to be punished or saved on his own, leading to his extra mercy here but extreme cruelty in Nov.
- Consequences of deed – Bavli Megillah says that had Agag been killed immediately Haman would have never been born, suggesting that that was the problem.
- Shaul simply did not listen to Hashem's commandment. Hashem said to destroy all of Amalek so leaving over even just one person violated the directive.
What was included in the command?
"כִּי חַטַּאת קֶסֶם מֶרִי וְאָוֶן וּתְרָפִים הַפְצַר"
"וַתַּעַט אֶל הַשָּׁלָל"
"וּמֶה קוֹל הַצֹּאן הַזֶּה בְּאׇזְנָי"
