1 Samuel 18:10-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

10. The next day an evil spirit sent from God took control of Saul, and he began to rave inside the palace. David was playing the lyre as usual, but Saul was holding a spear,

11. and he threw it, thinking, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David got away from him twice.

12. Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with David but had left Saul.

13. Therefore, Saul reassigned David and made him commander over 1,000 men. David led the troops

14. and continued to be successful in all his activities because the Lord was with him.

15. When Saul observed that David was very successful, he dreaded him.
