What does 1 Samuel 15:24 mean?

Saul said to Samuel, 'I messed up. I ignored what God said and what you told me, because I was scared of the people and did what they wanted.' 1 Samuel 15:24 - Modern Text Bible

(Saul admits his failure. He confesses that he gave in to pressure from others instead of following God’s command, showing his insecurity and misplaced priorities.)
