1 Samuel 19:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ An evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. David was playing the lyre. ¹⁰ Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but David evaded Saul’s attempt, and Saul’s spear stuck in the wall. That night David fled and successfully escaped.

¹¹ Saul sent messengers to watch David’s house and to kill him in the morning, but David’s wife Michal told him, “If you do not do something to save your life tonight, by tomorrow you will be put to death.”
