9 Saul never again trusted David.
10 The next day the Lord let an evil spirit take control of Saul, and he began acting like a crazy man inside his house. David came to play the harp for Saul as usual, but this time Saul had a spear in his hand.
11 Saul thought, “I'll pin David to the wall.” He threw the spear at David twice, but David dodged and got away both times.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was helping David and was no longer helping him.
13 Saul put David in charge of 1,000 soldiers and sent him out to fight.
14 The Lord helped David, and he and his soldiers always won their battles.
15 This made Saul even more afraid of David.
