וַתְּהִי֩ ר֨וּחַ יְהוָ֤ה ׀ רָעָה֙ אֶל־שָׁא֔וּל וְהוּא֙ בְּבֵית֣וֹ יוֹשֵׁ֔ב וַחֲנִית֖וֹ בְּיָד֑וֹ וְדָוִ֖ד מְנַגֵּ֥ן בְּיָֽד

Since the last three clauses in this verse describe the setting in which the event took place that the first clause describes, it may be more natural in your language to put the information about the setting before the information about the event. Alternate translation: [And then, as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand and David was playing by hand, a bad spirit from Yahweh came upon Saul]
