And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin 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.

And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.

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

And Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul.
