Saul and David
Following David's defeat of Goliath and the end of the war against the Philistines, Saul and David had many struggles. Saul felt David to be more popular than himself among the people of Israel, and more deserving, and was fearful that David would replace him as king. Although David had long been the established musician of the king, soothing him in his fits of melancholy madness, the jealous king now lost all pleasure in David's music and watched him suspiciously.
There came a day when Saul's jealousy burst through. His evil spirit was plaguing him. Why should he worry his mind ceaselessly about David, when a single blow would end all doubt? The sudden impulse overcame the horror of the deed. Snatching up his bladed javeline, Saul hurled it at David. Apparently, Saul twice attempted to pierce David this way, but the quick witted David evaded the blow, sudden as it must have been. David did not blame Saul but attributed his actions to the evil spirit which possessed the king.
