Saul's Two Fatal Sins
Commentators agree that this verse explicitly states two categories of sin that led to Saul's downfall. First, he was unfaithful to God's word, specifically by not waiting for Samuel and by failing to destroy the Amalekites as commanded. Second, he violated God's law by seeking guidance from a medium instead of inquiring of the Lord.
