1 Samuel 18:13-16 ▼

13 So Saul had David removed from his presence and appointed him as his commander of a thousand; and he publicly associated with the people.

14 David acted wisely and prospered in all his ways, and the LORD was with him.

15 When Saul saw that he was prospering greatly, he was afraid of him.

16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he publicly associated with them.
