17. Saul told his servants, Find me a man who plays well and bring him to me.
18. One of the young men said, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who plays skillfully, a valiant man, a man of war, prudent in speech and eloquent, an attractive person; and the Lord is with him.
19. So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.
20. And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a kid and sent them by David his son to Saul.
21. And David came to Saul and served him. Saul became very fond of him, and he became his armor-bearer.
22. Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David remain in my service, for he pleases me.
23. And when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, David took a lyre and played it; so Saul was refreshed and became well, and the evil spirit left him.
