uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

שָׁמַ֨עְתִּי֙ בְּ⁠ק֣וֹל יְהוָ֔ה וָ⁠אֵלֵ֕ךְ בַּ⁠דֶּ֖רֶךְ אֲשֶׁר־שְׁלָחַ֣⁠נִי יְהוָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl/(Saul) to/towards Shəmū^ʼēl/(Samuel) which/who I_heard to,the_voice_of YHWH and,I_went on,journey which/who he,sent_me YHWH and,I_brought DOM ʼAgag king ˊAmālēq and=DOM ˊAmālēqites utterly_destroyed )

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [I have obeyed Yahweh by carrying out the task he gave me]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

וָ⁠אָבִ֗יא אֶת־אֲגַג֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ עֲמָלֵ֔ק וְ⁠אֶת־עֲמָלֵ֖ק הֶחֱרַֽמְתִּי

Saul is using the words that the ULT translates as And … and to indicate that while his first statement is true, at the same time, his second statement is equally true. Alternate translation: [While I have brought Agag, the king of Amalek, I have also devoted Amalek]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

עֲמָלֵ֔ק

ˊAmālēq

Saul is using the name of the ancestor of this people group to represent the people group itself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the Amalekites] or [the rest of the Amalekites]
