7 The women sang one to another as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands.
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
9 Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10 It happened on the next day, that an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
11 and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will strike David even to the wall. David avoided out of his presence twice.
