In this story, King Saul assumed authority that was not rightfully his as king. He offered sacrifices which were to be made only by the prophet of God.
Sa kasaysayang ito, Kinuha ni Saul ang kapamahalaan na hindi naman talagang para sa kaniya bilang hari. Nag-alay siya ng mga handog na dapat lamang gawin ng isang propeta ng Diyos.
