שָׁמַ֨עְתִּי֙ בְּק֣וֹל יְהוָ֔ה וָאֵלֵ֕ךְ בַּדֶּ֖רֶךְ אֲשֶׁר־שְׁלָחַ֣נִי יְהוָ֑ה
I_heard in/on/at/with,voice_of YHWH and,went in/on/at/with,mission which/who sent,me YHWH

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 by association to mean 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]
15:1-35 After Saul failed to obey God and completely destroy the Amalekites, God rejected him in even stronger terms than before (cp. 13:8-14).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
