1 Samuel 18:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Saul Tries to Kill David

¹⁰ The next day an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he raved within his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand; ¹¹ and Saul threw the spear, for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.

¹² Saul was afraid of David, because the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul.
