1 Samuel 18:9 in context

  1. 7The women sang to one another as they played, and said,
    “Saul has slain his thousands,
    and David his ten thousands.”
  2. 8Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have creditd David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
  3. 9Saul watched David from that day and forward.
  4. 10On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
  5. 11and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
