6 Jonathan convinced Saul, so Saul made a vow in Jehovah’s name that he would not kill David.
7 Jonathan called to David and told him what Saul said. Then he brought David to Saul. David served in Saul’s army just as he had done before.
8 Then there was a war with the Philistines. David fought hard and forced them to retreat.
9 One night, David was in Saul’s home, playing the harp for him. Saul sat there with a spear in his hand. The distressing spirit from Jehovah took control of him.
10 Saul tried to pin David to the wall with his spear. David dodged it, and Saul’s spear struck the wall. David escaped from Saul that night.
11 Saul sent messengers to watch David’s house and kill him in the morning. Michal, David’s wife advised him: »If you do not save yourself tonight, you will be dead tomorrow!«
