Read in context

1 Samuel 18:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”

8 And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”

9 And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.

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.
