"King Saul, please listen to what I'm saying. Was it the Lord who made you angry with me? If it was, may he accept my offering. Was it people who made you angry at me? If it was, may the Lord send down a curse on them. They have now driven me from my share of the Lord's land. By doing that, they might as well have said, 'Go and serve other gods.'

Verse Explanation
David asked Saul to listen and suggested that if God had caused Saul to oppose him, David would accept God's will. However, if people had influenced Saul, David declared that they should be judged because they had driven him away from God's inheritance.
History
David viewed the conflict spiritually, not merely politically.
