1 Samuel 18:8-12 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

8. Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”

9. Saul watched David from that day and forward.

10. On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;

11. and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.

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