I Samuel 16:14-16
Excerpted from: Exalt With MusicUndoubtedly, Saul was in the grips of very great depression; maybe we can interpret the depressing spirit as actually being a demon. It was afflicting him with depression. Somehow, even when the music of a human was played, the distressing spirit, the demon, was also nullified and he quit agitating Saul so that Saul then could get a bit of his composure back once again.
I Samuel 16:14-15
Excerpted from: 'I Will Pour Out My Spirit!'The incident demonstrates that in this early period, God's Spirit was not given to all His people in the same way as it is given to His church today. God was with His people and His Spirit came upon them, but did not dwell on them. Instead it came upon certain individuals for specific purposes, and sometimes it left them, as happened in the case of Saul.
