¹¹ Then Saul hurled the spear and thought, "{I will pin David to the wall}." But David eluded him twice. ¹² {Now Saul was threatened by the presence of David} because Yahweh was with him, but had departed from Saul. ¹³ So Saul removed him {from his presence}, and made him commander of a thousand, {so he marched in and out at the front of the army}.
