10. The next day an evil spirit that was sent by God came on Saul with power. Saul began to prophesy in his house. At that same time David began to play the harp, just as he usually did. Saul was holding a spear.
11. He threw it at David. As he did, he said to himself, "I'll pin David to the wall." But David got away from him twice.
12. The Lord had left Saul and was with David. So Saul was afraid of David.
13. He sent David away. He put him in command of 1,000 men. David led the troops in battle.
14. In everything he did, he was very successful. That's because the Lord was with him.
15. When Saul saw how successful David was, he became afraid of him.
16. But all of the troops of Israel and Judah loved David. That's because he led them in battle.
