I just posted a verse. It says what it says. How could this "spirit" depart if it wasn't in Saul?
By pulling the verse into the discussion repeatedly and indicating that most people won't discuss verses prior to Acts, it seemed as though you must think that Saul was filled with the Holy Ghost. Why bring it up repeatedly and insistently otherwise? Even your question at the end of the quote above makes me wonder if you assume that Saul was filled with the Holy Ghost.

As I said before, the Holy Ghost overshadowed people in the OT. It was a different interaction of God with His people. In my mind's eye-though clearly not a Biblical definition-more the difference between someone picking up a pair of gloves and putting them on.
