David Has to Flee Again
8 War came again, so David went out and fought against the Philistines and defeated them thoroughly[a] so that they fled before him. 9 Then the evil spirit from Yahweh came upon Saul while he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing a stringed instrument in his hand. 10 So Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear,[b] but he eluded Saul,[c] so that he struck the spear into the wall, and David fled and escaped that same night.
