1 Samuel 19
Saul ordered David's death, but Jonathan warned David that he should be on guard and hide himself. Jonathan spoke with Saul, "Do not sin against your servant David... since his deeds have been very beneficial to you...he struck down the Philistine and the Lord brought about a great deliverance for all Israel". Then Saul vowed not to harm David, but later he tried unsuccessfully to spear David. David escaped and fled to meet with Samuel in Ramah. Saul sent men several times to capture him there, but each time the Spirit of God came upon the men and they instead prophesied. Finally, Saul himself went to Ramah to capture David, but he also went along prophesying after the Spirit of God came upon him.
