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" are only found in these stories. The term arms-bearer ("נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו") and the verb stab (דקר) are also found only rarely in Tanakh.1
