9 So from that time on, Saul watched David very closely.
10 The next day, an evil spirit from God took control of Saul and he went wild in his house. David played the harp to calm him as he usually did,
11 but Saul had a spear in his hand. He thought, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” Saul threw the spear twice, but David jumped out of the way both times.
12 The Lord had left Saul and was now with David, so Saul was afraid of David.
13 Saul sent David away and made him a commander over 1000 soldiers. This put David out among the men even more as they went into battle and returned.
14 The Lord was with David, so he was successful in everything.
15 Saul saw how successful David was and became even more afraid of him.
