First Samuel 19:9

And an evil spirit from the Lord (Yahweh) was upon Saul [again, see 1 Sam. 16:14] as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and David was playing [the lyre] with his hand. [Sitting with "his spear in his hand," fully prepared for war inside his own palace, shows Saul's fear and mental imbalance. David was well aware of Saul's previous outbursts, see 1 Sam. 18:10–11, and was prepared.]
