In 1st Samuel 16:14 the text reads: "But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him."
Does that mean that God himself sent an evil spirit to trouble Saul?
Robert and Andrew read and discuss 1st Sam 16:14-23 to understand the text and context and then refer to other verses in the Bible to really understand "...an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him."
