19 Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse. He said, "Send me your son David, the one who takes care of your sheep."
20 So Jesse got some bread and a bottle of wine. The bottle was made out of animal skin. He also got a young goat. He loaded everything on the back of a donkey. He sent all of it to Saul with his son David.
21 David went to Saul and began to serve him. Saul liked him very much. David became one of the men who carried Saul's armor.
22 Saul sent a message to Jesse. It said, "Let David stay here. I want him to serve me. I'm pleased with him."
