1 Samuel 18:11-16 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

11. and Saul hurled the spear, thinking, “I’ll pin David to the wall!” But David eluded him—twice.

12. Now Saul became afraid of David, because Adonai was with him but had departed from Saul.

13. Therefore Saul removed him from his entourage by appointing him as a captain of a thousand. So David went out and came in before the troops.

14. David had success in all his undertakings, since Adonai was with him.

15. When Saul saw that he had great success, he dreaded him.

16. But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in before them.
