1 Samuel 18:5-16

5And DavidH1732 wentH3318 outH3318 whithersoever SaulH7586 sentH7971 him, and behaved himselfH376 wisely: and SaulH7586 setH7760 him over the menH376 of warH4421, and it was goodH3190 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the peopleH5971, and also in the sightH5869 of Saul’sH7586 servantsH5650.

6And it cameH935 to passH935 as they cameH935, when DavidH1732 returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, that the womenH802 cameH935 outH3318 of allH3605 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478, singingH7891 and dancingH4246, to meetH7122 kingH4428 SaulH7586, with timbrelsH8596, with joyH8057, and with instruments of music.

7And the womenH802 sang one to anotherH802 in their playH7832, and saidH559, SaulH7586 hath slainH5221 his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his tenH7233 thousandsH505.

8And SaulH7586 was veryH3966 wroth, and this sayingH559 displeasedH7489 him; and he saidH559, They have ascribedH5414 unto DavidH1732 tenH7233 thousandsH505, and to meH5414 they have ascribedH5414 but thousandsH505: and whatH1697 canH5869 he have moreH5750 but the kingdomH4410?

9And SaulH7586 eyed DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 and forwardH1973.

10And it cameH1961 to passH1961 on the morrow, that an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH1961 mightily uponH1961 SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as he didH3117 dayH3117 by dayH3117: and SaulH7586 had his spearH2595 in his handH3027.

11and SaulH7586 castH2904 the spearH2595; for he saidH559, I will smiteH5221 DavidH1732 evenH853 to the wallH7023. And DavidH1732 avoided outH6440 of his presenceH6440 twiceH6471.

12And SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 of DavidH1732, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 was with him, and was departedH5493 from SaulH7586.

13Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captainH8269 over a thousandH505; and he wentH3318 outH3318 and cameH935 in beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.

14And DavidH1732 behaved himself wisely in allH3605 his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him.

15And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 that he behaved himselfH1931 veryH3966 wisely, he stood in awe of him.

16But allH3605 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 lovedH157 DavidH1732; for he wentH3318 outH3318 and cameH935 in beforeH6440 them.
