But the more part of them did not believe in the words of Samuel; therefore when they saw that they could not hit him with their stones and their arrows, they cried unto their captains, saying: Take this fellow and bind him, for behold he hath a devil; and because of the power of the devil which is in him we cannot hit him with our stones and our arrows; therefore take him and bind him, and away with him.
Isn't it interesting that the unbelievers were willing to ascribe Samuel's miraculous protection to the power of the devil rather than believe it came from God. Apparently any ridiculous belief is better than the truth when the truth involves God. Today people would rather believe in the random chance of evolution than to admit an Intelligence in their own creation.
