10 The next day a bad spirit from God gripped Saul,+ and he started to act strangely* inside the house, while David was playing music on the harp+ as on other occasions. Saul had a spear in his hand,+ 11 and he hurled the spear,+ saying to himself: ‘I will pin David to the wall!’ But David escaped from him twice.

20 Then David ran away from Naiʹoth in Raʹmah. However, he came to Jonʹa·than and said: “What have I done?+ What is my offense, and how have I sinned against your father for him to seek my life?”*

33 At that Saul hurled the spear at him to strike him,+ so Jonʹa·than knew that his father was determined to put David to death.+

15 David was aware that* Saul had gone out to seek his life* while David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Hoʹresh.
