Analysis
- Degree of similarity –
- Distinctive phrases –
- Avimelekh and Shaul – The term "bad spirit" ("רוּחַ רָעָה"), the phrase "standing" ("וַיַּעֲמֹד") on "top of a mountain" ("בְּרֹאשׁ הַר" / "עַל רֹאשׁ הָהָר"), and the request "שְׁלֹף חַרְבְּךָ" appear only in these stories. The term arms-bearer ("נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו") and the verb stab (דקר) are also found only rarely in Tanakh.1
