1 Samuel 18:8-11

8Saul became very angry because he considered this saying to be insulting. “To David they credit tens of thousands,” he said, “but to me they credit ⌞only⌟ a few thousand. The only thing left for David is my kingdom.”

9From that day on Saul kept an eye on David.

10The next day an evil spirit from God seized Saul. He began to prophesy in his house while David strummed a tune on the lyre as he did every day. Now, Saul had a spear in his hand.

11He raised the spear and thought, “I’ll nail David to the wall.” But David got away from him twice.
