1 Samuel 18:6-16

6And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambours, with joy, and with triangles.

7And the women answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath smitten his thousands, And David his ten thousands.

8And Saul was very wroth, and that saying was evil in his sight; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed the thousands; and [what] is there more for him but the kingdom?

9And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

10And it came to pass the next day that an evil spirit from 1God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house, but David played with his hand, as on other days; and the spear was in Saul's hand.

11And Saul cast the spear, and thought, I will smite David and the wall. But David turned away from him twice.

12And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.

13And Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

14And David prospered in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.

15And Saul saw that he prospered well, and he stood in awe of him.

16But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
