8 Therefore Saul was exceedingly wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousand, and to me they have ascribed but a thousand, and what can he have more save the kingdom?

10 ¶ And on the morrow, the evil spirit of God came upon Saul, and he [b]prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand like as at other times, and there was a spear in Saul’s hand.
