9 So Saul kept a close eye on David from that point on.
10 The next day an evil spirit from God came over Saul,[a] and he acted like he was in a prophetic frenzy in his house. So David played the lyre as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand, 11 and he threw it, thinking, I’ll pin David to the wall. But David escaped from him two different times.
