← 1 Samuel 19:8	1 Samuel 19:9 (KJV)	1 Samuel 19:10 →
And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.	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.
