1 Samuel 18:8-14

8And SaulH7586 was veryH3966 angryH2734, and the sayingH1697 displeasedH3415H5869 him; and he saidH559, They have ascribedH5414 to DavidH1732 ten thousandsH7233, and to me they have ascribedH5414 thousandsH505: and what can he have more but the kingdomH4410?1 9And SaulH7586 kept a jealous eye onH5770 DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 and onwardH1973. 10And it came to pass on the next dayH4283, that the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH6743 upon SaulH7586, and he prophesiedH5012 in the midstH8432 of the houseH1004: and DavidH1732 playedH5059 with his handH3027, as at other timesH3117: and there was a javelinH2595 in Saul’sH7586 handH3027. 11And SaulH7586 castH2904 the javelinH2595; for he saidH559, I will smiteH5221 DavidH1732 even to the wallH7023. And DavidH1732 escapedH5437 from his presenceH6440 twiceH6471.

12And SaulH7586 was afraidH3372 ofH6440 DavidH1732, because the LORDH3068 was with him, and had departedH5493 from SaulH7586. 13Therefore SaulH7586 removedH5493 him from him, and madeH7760 him his captainH8269 over a thousandH505; and he went outH3318 and came inH935 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. 14And DavidH1732 behaved himself wiselyH7919 in all his waysH1870; and the LORDH3068 was with him.2
