9And Saul eyed Dauid from that day, and forward. 10¶ And it came to passe on the morrow, that the euill spirit from God came vpon Saul, and he prophecied in the midst of the house: and Dauid played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a iauelin in Sauls hand. 11And Saul cast the iauelin; for hee said, I will smite Dauid euen to the wall with it: and Dauid auoided out of his presence twice. 12¶ And Saul was afraid of Dauid, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. 13Therefore Saul remooued him from him, and made him his captaine ouer a thousand, and hee went out and came in before the people.
