I Samuel 19:9,10



I Samuel 19:9,10 And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand. And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night. Saul’s anger grew and grew until it consumed him. And finally, one day as David played the harp to calm Saul’s spirit, King Saul picked up a spear and threw it at David. If David hadn’t been watching carefully, Saul would’ve killed him! But God was with David and David kept up his guard. As David slipped out of the palace, Saul stormed away in rage. What a contrast in attitudes!  David - careful in what he said and did, and Saul - giving in to his wicked feelings. A good lesson for us!
