1 Samuel 18:11-13

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ Then ^(A)Saul hurled the spear, for he thought, “I will ^[a]pin David to the wall.” But David ^[b]escaped from his presence, twice.

¹² Now ^(B)Saul was afraid of David, ^(C)because the Lord was with him but ^(D)had left Saul. ¹³ So Saul removed him from ^[c]his presence and appointed him as his commander of a thousand; and ^(E)he went out and came in before the people.
