That verse is very contradictory, but I can explain it to you. So, in general, 15 Samuel talks about Saul's sin. God told him he had to "destroy the women, men, and children" of this people, who, if I'm not mistaken, were called the "Amalekites," but I'm not entirely sure. The fact is, Saul didn't do it and therefore committed a sin. He goes to Samuel to confess, and he also forgives him through God. Now, the central point is that verse, 15 Samuel 3. Then the Amalekites (or I don't remember what that people was called exactly), during the Jews' flight from Egypt, had attacked the children and women of the civilization. We know one of the most important rules of the Torah: "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," which was later changed by Jesus. So this could be a first, vague meaning of this verse. If you can't accept this explanation, know that the Jews used this term to mean "conquest," so that's mostly a metaphor.
