Each king and high priest of Israel was anointed with oil, and this commissioned him as God's representative to the nation. Although God rejected Saul's kingship by not allowing his descendants to sit on Israel's throne, Saul remained in his position until his death. God allowed an evil spirit to torment Saul as judgment for his disobedience, and this demonstrated God's power over the spirit world as well. So continuing in I Samuel 16:14 which has to do with the distressing spirit troubling Saul.
