Read in context

1 Samuel 18:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,

11 and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.

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

13 Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,

14 and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
