7 Und die Weiber sangen gegeneinander und spielten und sprachen: Saul hat tausend geschlagen, aber David zehntausend.

9 Und Saul sah David sauer an von dem Tage und hinfort.
10 Des andern Tages geriet der böse Geist von Gott über Saul, und er raste daheim in seinem Hause; David aber spielte auf den Saiten mit seiner Hand, wie er täglich pflegte. Und Saul hatte einen Spieß in der Hand{~}
11 und er schoß ihn und gedachte: Ich will David an die Wand spießen. David aber wandte sich zweimal von ihm.
