          12So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
          13Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
          14and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.

¹⁵When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.

¹⁶But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
