7. So the women sang one to another, as they were dancing saying, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands!”
8. Then Saul became very angry—this saying was evil in his eyes—and he commented, “They’ve ascribed to David ten thousands and to me they’ve ascribed thousands. Now what more does he lack but the kingdom?”
9. So Saul eyed David from that day on.
10. It came about the next day that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, so that he was raving within the palace. While David was playing music with his hand, as he did day by day, Saul had his spear in his hand,
11. and Saul hurled the spear, thinking, “I’ll pin David to the wall!” But David eluded him—twice.
12. Now Saul became afraid of David, because Adonai was with him but had departed from Saul.
