1 Samuel 18:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ Saul did not like this song. He became very angry. He thought, ‘The women say that David has killed tens of thousands of men. But they say that I have only killed thousands of men. They will soon want David to be their king.’

⁹ After that, Saul was jealous of David and he watched David carefully.

¹⁰ The next day God caused an evil spirit to come and control Saul. Saul started to prophesy in his house. David was making music on his harp as he did every day. Saul had a spear in his hand.
