'Playing' in the Bible

The women who were playing the music sang, "Saul has struck down his thousands, but David his tens of thousands!"

The next day an evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul and he prophesied within his house. Now David was playing the lyre that day. There was a spear in Saul's hand,

Then an evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul. He was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, while David was playing the lyre.
