1 Samuel 19:7-11
New International Version
7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.(A)
8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him.
9 But an evil[a] spirit(B) from the Lord came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre,(C) 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded(D) him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.
11 Saul sent men to David’s house to watch(E) it and to kill him in the morning.(F) But Michal, David’s wife, warned him, “If you don’t run for your life tonight, tomorrow you’ll be killed.”
