17 And Saul said unto his slaves, Provide me now a man that can play well and bring him to me.
18 Then one of the servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem, that is cunning in playing and a mighty valiant man and a man of war and prudent in speech and handsome, and the Lord is with him.
19 Therefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse and said, Send me David, thy son, who is with the sheep.
20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread and a bottle of wine and a kid and sent them by David, his son, unto Saul.
21 And David came to Saul and stood before him; and he loved him greatly, and he became his armourbearer.
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me, for he has found favour in my sight.
23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed and was better, and the evil spirit departed from him.
