“When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.”
1 Samuel 19:8 (BSB)
Context Reading
6Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.” 7So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and David was with Saul as before. 8When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him. 9But as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, a spirit of distress from the LORD came upon him. While David was playing the harp, 10Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But David eluded him and the spear struck the wall. And David fled and escaped that night.
