13 So Samuel got the animal horn that was filled with olive oil. He anointed David in front of his brothers. From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came on David with power. Samuel went back to Ramah.
14 The Spirit of the Lord had left Saul. And an evil spirit that was sent by the Lord terrified him.
15 Saul's attendants said to him, "An evil spirit that was sent by God is terrifying you.
16 Give us an order to look for someone who can play the harp. He will play it when the evil spirit that was sent by God comes on you. Then you will feel better."
17 So Saul said to his attendants, "Find someone who plays the harp well. Bring him to me."
18 One of the servants said, "I've seen someone who knows how to play the harp. He is a son of Jesse from Bethlehem. He's a brave man. He would make a good soldier. He's a good speaker. He's very handsome. And the Lord is with him."
19 Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse. He said, "Send me your son David, the one who takes care of your sheep."
