Now when David returned, after he slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets. 7And the women sung as they played, and they said: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 8And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand, what can he have more but the kingdom? 9And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward. 10And the day after, the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand, 11And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice. 12And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul himself. 13Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people. 14And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him. 15And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him. 16But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
