1 Samuel 18:10-12
New International Version
10 The next day an evil[a] spirit(A) from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre,(B) as he usually(C) did. Saul had a spear(D) in his hand 11 and he hurled it, saying to himself,(E) “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David eluded(F) him twice.(G)
12 Saul was afraid(H) of David, because the Lord(I) was with(J) David but had departed from(K) Saul.
