SCRIPTURE

"And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul`s presence, and he smote the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night." — 1 Samuel 19:10 (ASV)

David fled - This was the beginning of David’s life as a fugitive and outcast, though for no offence or fault of his (Psalms 59:3, Prayer Book Version).
