17. And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18. And one of the young men answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skilled in playing, and he is a valiant man and a man of war, and skilled in speech, and of good presence, and Jehovah is with him.
19. Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me David thy son, who is with the sheep.
20. And Jesse took an ass with bread, and a flask of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
21. And David came to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.
