1 Samuel 18:10-15

New American Standard Bible

Saul Turns against David

¹⁰ Now it came about on the next day that ^(A)an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and ^(B)he raved in the midst of the house while David was playing the harp with his hand, ^[a](C)as usual; and ^[b](D)a spear was in Saul’s hand. ¹¹ Then ^(E)Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, “I will ^[c]pin David to the wall.” But David ^[d]escaped from his presence, twice.

¹² Now ^(F)Saul was afraid of David, ^(G)because the Lord was with him but ^(H)had left Saul. ¹³ So Saul removed him from ^[e]his presence and appointed him as his commander of a thousand; and ^(I)he went out and came in before the people. ¹⁴ David was ^[f]successful in all his ways, for ^(J)the Lord was with him. ¹⁵ When Saul saw that he was ^[g]very successful, he was afraid of him.
