1 Samuel 18:8-14

8Then Saul became very angry—this saying was evil in his eyes—and he commented, “They’ve ascribed to David ten thousands and to me they’ve ascribed thousands. Now what more does he lack but the kingdom?”

9So Saul eyed David from that day on.

10It came about the next day that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, so that he was raving within the palace. While David was playing music with his hand, as he did day by day, Saul had his spear in his hand,

11and Saul hurled the spear, thinking, “I’ll pin David to the wall!” But David eluded him—twice.

12Now Saul became afraid of David, because Adonai was with him but had departed from Saul.

13Therefore Saul removed him from his entourage by appointing him as a captain of a thousand. So David went out and came in before the troops.

14David had success in all his undertakings, since Adonai was with him.
