7. So the women sang as they danced, and said:“Saul has slain his thousands,And David his ten thousands.”
8. Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?”
9. So Saul eyed David from that day forward.
10. And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house. So David played music with his hand, as at other times; but there was a spear in Saul’s hand.
11. And Saul cast the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” But David escaped his presence twice.
12. Now Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, but had departed from Saul.
13. Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14. And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
