1 Samuel 18:8-14
8Then SaulH7586 becameH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734, for thisH2088 sayingH1697 1displeasedH7489H5869 him; and he saidH559, “They have ascribedH5414 to DavidH1732 tenH7233 thousandsH7233, but to me they have ascribedH5414 thousandsH505. Now 2what moreH5750 can he have but the kingdomH4410?” 9SaulH7586 lookedH5870 at DavidH1732 with suspicionH5870 from that dayH3117 on.
10Now it cameH1961 about on the nextH4283 dayH4283 that 3an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 mightilyH6743 upon SaulH7586, and 4he ravedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004, while DavidH1732 was playingH5059 the harp with his handH3027, 56as usualH3117; and 78a spearH2595 was in Saul’sH7586 handH3027. 119SaulH7586 hurledH2904 the spearH2595 for he thoughtH559, “I will 10pinH5221 DavidH1732 to the wallH7023.” But DavidH1732 11escapedH5437 from his presenceH6440 twiceH6471.
12Now 12SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 of DavidH1732, 13for the LordH3068 was with him but 14had departedH5493 from SaulH7586. 13Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from 15his presenceH5973 and appointedH7760 him as his commanderH8269 of a thousandH505; and 16he wentH3318 out and cameH935 in beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. 14DavidH1732 was 17prosperingH7919 in allH3605 his waysH1870 for 18the LordH3068 was with him.
