Graphic Bible · Scene 8 of 12

Saul sits distressed in a dim stone chamber, one hand near his brow. Concerned servants quietly propose finding a lyre player. Troubled-era Saul, graying temples and full rounded beard, blue mantle over linen. No literal demon.

14The Spirit of Yahweh had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Yahweh terrified him.

15And Saul’s servants said to him, “Look now, an evil spirit from God is terrifying you.”

16Please let our lord say to your servants before you that they should seek out a man who knows how to play the lyre; and when a harmful spirit from God is upon you, he will play with his hand, and it will be well for you.
