1 Samuel 18:12

David's Successes Arouse Saul's Suspicions

¹¹ Saul balanced the spear in his hand and said: I will give David a blow! I will pin him to the wall. David got away from him twice. ¹² Now Saul was afraid of David, for the Lord was with him but had departed from Saul. ¹³ So Saul sent him away. He put him in command of a thousand men. David led his men in battle.
