1 Samuel 18:9-12
New King James Version
9 So Saul [a]eyed David from that day forward.
10 And it happened on the next day that (A)the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, (B)and he prophesied inside the house. So David (C)played music with his hand, as at other times; (D)but there was a spear in Saul’s hand. 11 And Saul (E)cast the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” But David escaped his presence twice.
12 Now Saul was (F)afraid of David, because (G)the Lord was with him, but had (H)departed from Saul.
