When Samuel turned to leave, Saul grabbed the edge of his robe and it tore.

David strapped on his sword over his fighting attire and tried to walk around, but he was not used to them. David said to Saul, “I can’t walk in these things, for I’m not used to them.” So David removed them.

As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed his inmost person. All these signs happened on that very day.

So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines, but the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

But Saul replied to David, “You aren’t able to go against this Philistine and fight him! You’re just a boy! He has been a warrior from his youth!”

Saul went on one side of the mountain, while David and his men went on the other side of the mountain. David was hurrying to get away from Saul, but Saul and his men were surrounding David and his men so they could capture them.
