Thematic Bible



Now there was an evil spirit from the LORD on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, and David was playing the harp with his hand. Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, so that he stuck the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.

Saul hurled the spear for he thought, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David escaped from his presence twice.


He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze javelin slung between his shoulders.
