Saul Attempts to Kill David

10 The next day an evil spirit sent from God took control of Saul,(A) and he began to rave(a) inside the palace. David was playing the lyre as usual,(B) but Saul was holding a spear,(C) 11 and he threw it, thinking, “I’ll pin David to the wall.”(D) But David got away from him twice.
