1 Samuel 18:9 BBE

⁷  And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.

⁸  And 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?

⁹  And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.

¹⁰  Now 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.

¹¹  And 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.
