1 Samuel 16:19-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

19. Therefore, Saul sent messengers to Jesse, saying, "Send to me your son David, who is in the pastures."

20. And so, Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid from one of the goats, and he sent them, by the hand of his son David, to Saul.

21. And David went to Saul, and stood before him. And he loved him exceedingly, and he made him his armor bearer.

22. And Saul sent to Jesse, saying: "Let David remain before my sight. For he has found favor in my eyes."
