⁷ Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence ^(A)as in times past.

¹³ Therefore Saul removed him from ^[a]his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and ^(A)he went out and came in before the people.

² Saul took him that day, ^(A)and would not let him go home to his father’s house anymore.

²¹ So David came to Saul and ^(A)stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.

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.

² Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the Lord your ^(A)God said to you, ‘You shall ^(B)shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel.’ ”

¹⁰ Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but ^(A)I am slow of speech and ^[a]slow of tongue.”

² And Jacob saw the ^(A)countenance of Laban, and indeed it was not ^(B)favorable toward him as before.
