1 Samuel 18:10-11 (NLT)
10 The very next day a tormenting spirit [1] from God overwhelmed Saul, and he began to rave in his house like a madman. David was playing the harp, as he did each day. But Saul had a spear in his hand, 11 and he suddenly hurled it at David, intending to pin him to the wall. But David escaped him twice.
[1]
Or, an evil spirit.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene was originally drawn for a “bad Day” mug design, but I have decided to put it in the Bible Cartoon collection as well.
Saul skin, hair & clothing colourings & designs are taken from a previously drawn scene (1 Samuel 17 – David & Goliath – Scene 08 – Saul’s armour) which was the first time I had ever drawn Saul. That scene includes his golden crown with the word “Saul” embossed in Hebrew script.
1 Samuel 17 – David & Goliath – Scene 04 – Israelites run is the previous scene which established David’s skin, hair & clothing colourings.
I used a special effect in Corel PhotoPaint to create the red zig zap lines behind Saul, which are intended to give a sense of his radiating anger & ravings.
