1 Samuel 19:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ Now an evil spirit sent from the Lord^(A) came on Saul as he was sitting in his palace holding a spear.^(B) David was playing the lyre,^{(C) 10} and Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear.^(D) As the spear struck the wall, David eluded Saul, ran away, and escaped that night. ¹¹ Saul sent agents to David’s house to watch for him and kill him in the morning.^(E) But his wife Michal^(F) warned David, “If you don’t escape tonight, you will be dead tomorrow!”
