Ben,

Other commentors have also made the point that Ameleq was
PQD'ed because they were an on-going threat, not because
some past sin. However, the text is quite explicit. It
says

te) yTdqP tw)bc hwhy rm) hK
eyrcMm wtl(B jrDB wl e&-r$) le)r&yl qelm( h&( -r$)


Ameleq will be subject XRM because of what Ameleq did to
Isreal during the exodus from Egypt.

Lots of other tribes were also on-going military threats,
the Midianites, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, etc. None
of them were subject to XRM. The text of 1 Sam 15:2 is
straight forward about why XRM was imposed.
