Listen to 1 Samuel 16:14
14 Ora, o EspĂ­rito do Senhor retirou-se de Saul, e o atormentava um espĂ­rito maligno da parte do Senhor.

1 Samuel 16:14 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 16:14

But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul
As a spirit of prophecy as at first, as a spirit of wisdom and prudence in civil government, and as a spirit of fortitude and courage, as the Targum:

and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him;
the reverse of the former, which by the permission of God, and as a punishment to him for his sins, came upon him; he seemed to be a demoniac, as Josephus represents F9 him, as if possessed with the devil; by whom he was almost suffocated and strangled, as well as was distracted in his counsels, and became weak and foolish; lost all courage and greatness of mind, was timorous and fearful, and alarmed by everything, and was full of envy, suspicion, rage, and despair.

1 Samuel 16:14 In-Context

12 Jessé mandou buscá-lo e o fez entrar. Ora, ele era ruivo, de belos olhos e de gentil aspecto. Então disse o Senhor: Levanta-te, e unge-o, porque é este mesmo.
13 Então Samuel tomou o vaso de azeite, e o ungiu no meio de seus irmãos; e daquele dia em diante o Espírito do Senhor se apoderou de Davi. Depois Samuel se levantou, e foi para Ramá.
14 Ora, o EspĂ­rito do Senhor retirou-se de Saul, e o atormentava um espĂ­rito maligno da parte do Senhor.
15 EntĂŁo os criados de Saul lhe disseram: Eis que agora um espĂ­rito maligno da parte de Deus te atormenta;
16 dize, pois, Senhor nosso, a teus servos que estão na tua presença, que busquem um homem que saiba tocar harpa; e quando o espírito maligno da parte do Senhor vier sobre ti, ele tocara com a sua mão, e te sentirás melhor.
