9 Y desde aquel día Saúl miró de través á David.

10 Otro día aconteció que el espíritu malo de parte de Dios tomó á Saúl, y mostrábase en su casa con trasportes de profeta: y David tañía con su mano como los otros días; y estaba una lanza á mano de Saúl.

11 Y arrojó Saúl la lanza, diciendo: Enclavaré á David en la pared. Y dos veces se apartó de él David.

12 Mas Saúl se temía de David, por cuanto Jehová era con él, y se había apartado de Saúl.

13 Apartólo pues Saúl de sí, é hízole capitán de mil; y salía y entraba delante del pueblo.
