And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt — Saul allows the Kenites (who had shown friendship to Israel) to escape, showing that he discriminates among people based on prior relationships. This is the only exception to the command for total destruction.
