5. And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul's servants.
6. Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
7. And the women sung as they played, and they said: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
8. And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
9. And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
10. And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand,
11. And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
12. And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
13. Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, 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.
