David in Saul's Service

^14 (A)Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, ^(B)and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him.

²³ And ^(A)whenever the harmful spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre ^(B)and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him.

¹⁰ The next day ^(A)a harmful spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and ^(B)he raved within his house while David was ^(C)playing the lyre, as he did day by day. ^(D)Saul had his spear in his hand. ¹¹ And Saul ^(E)hurled the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David evaded him twice.

^9 (A)Then a harmful spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. ^(B)And David was playing the lyre. ^10 (C)And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.
