1 Samuel 18:8-12

Then Saul became very angry, for this lyric displeased him; and he said, “They have given David credit for ten thousands, but to me they have given credit for only thousands! Now what more can he have but the kingdom?”

And Saul eyed David with suspicion from that day on. Saul Turns against David

Now it came about on the next day that an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house while David was playing the harp with his hand, as usual; and a spear was in Saul’s hand.

Then Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from his presence, twice.

Now Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him but had left Saul.
