Somehow I lost it, what is it?

I have been taking bible classes recently, (I moved to israel, so old testament) and I found something really interesting in samuel 1 chapter 15. God decides to send saul to commit a genocide on a race of people who have sinned centuries ago. Not only are they not responsible for the acts of their ancestors, a full genocide should be never be commited (Even logically, it isn't very smart, as you have nothing to gain from a war if you destroy everything).
