• Newari: “Thinking, "I will pin David to the wall," he threw his spear, but David turned away twice and was and was spared.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The next day, Saul was- again -empowered by a wicked/evil spirit that was sent by God, and he talked-a-lot/chattered like a fool inside his house. David played a harp for Saul as he often did. Saul said to himself while he was-holding a spear, ‘I will-throw-a-spear at David so-that he will-be-pinned to the wall.’ And he threw-the-spear at David twice, but David was-able-to-elude/keep-away-from (it).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “and he hurled it at David, saying to himself, ‘I will fasten David to the wall with the spear!’ He did that two times, but David jumped aside both times.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
