1 Samuel 19:7-11 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

7. So Jonathan called David and told him everything that was said. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.

8. Once again there was war with the Philistines, and David went out to fight. He defeated them badly, and they ran away.

9. Later, in Saul’s house, David was playing the harp. Saul was there with his spear in his hand. Then an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul.

10. Saul threw his spear at David and tried to pin him to the wall. David jumped out of the way, so the spear missed him and stuck in the wall. That night, David ran away.

11. Saul sent men to watch David’s house. They stayed there all night. They were waiting to kill David in the morning, but David’s wife Michal warned him. She said, “You must run away tonight and save your life. If you don’t, you will be killed tomorrow.”
