New Testament

1 Samuel 18:9-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.

10. And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day. And Saul had his spear in his hand;

11. and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice.

12. And Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and was departed from Saul.

13. Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

14. And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.

15. And when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
