New Testament

1 Samuel 18:10-14 New International Version (NIV)

10. The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand

11. and he hurled it, saying to himself, “I’ll pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.

12. Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with David but had departed from Saul.

13. So he sent David away from him and gave him command over a thousand men, and David led the troops in their campaigns.

14. In everything he did he had great success, because the Lord was with him.
