navi prophets - Dovid haMelech and Amalek


In Shmuel Alef chapter 15 Shaul HaMelech (King Saul) loses his kingship because in his battle against Amalek he failed to kill King Agag and saved livestock to offer as sacrifices.


Later we find that not only did Dovid keep plunder after battling Amalek (Shmuel Alef chapter 30) he institutes regulations about how to divide plunder.


Why is Dovid [apparently] not censured while Shaul lost his throne?
