7And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.
8And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?
9And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.
10Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
11And Saul, balancing the spear in his hand, said, I will give David a blow, pinning him to the wall. And David got away from him twice.
12And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.
13So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.
