A man there said, “Now, who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul mightily when he heard these words, and he became very angry.

And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even the garrison and the raiders trembled, and the earth quaked so that it became a great trembling.

Then David came to Saul and attended him; and Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor bearer.

Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?”

Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were about four hundred men with him.

Now David became aware that Saul had come out to seek his life while David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.

But in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him so that he became as a stone.

Then Abigail quickly arose, and rode on a donkey, with her five maidens who attended her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.

David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both became his wives.
