1 Samuel 19:8–10, “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.”
David was now fully involved in his new role as a leader in Israel’s armies. The Lord was with David because David trusted the Lord and obeyed the Lord day by day. The Lord kept His promises and David was successful in battle. On the other hand, Saul was still determined to kill David. He had become obsessed with the fact that the Lord blessed David but no longer blessed him. He persuaded himself that if were able to kill David then everything would be okay again. Even though David went out as a soldier, he still played for the king and was allowed into the king’s inner sanctums. Even though Saul had told Jonathan that he didn’t want to kill David, when Saul had a chance he took a spear and tried to kill David but David was able to escape.
