1 Samuel 18:12-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹² Now ^(A)Saul was afraid of David, ^(B)for the Lord was with him but ^(C)had departed from Saul. ¹³ Therefore Saul removed him from ^[a]his presence and appointed him as his commander of a thousand; and ^(D)he went out and came in before the people. ¹⁴ David was ^[b]prospering in all his ways for ^(E)the Lord was with him. ¹⁵ When Saul saw that he was ^[c]prospering greatly, he dreaded him. ¹⁶ But ^(F)all Israel and Judah loved David, and he went out and came in before them.
