1 Samuel 16:20-23 God's Word Translation (GW)

20. Jesse took six bushels of bread, a full wineskin, and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.

21. David came to Saul and served him. Saul loved him very much and made David his armorbearer.

22. Saul sent ⌊this message⌋ to Jesse, “Please let David stay with me because I have grown fond of him.”

23. Whenever God’s spirit came to Saul, David took the lyre and strummed a tune. Saul got relief ⌊from his terror⌋ and felt better, and the evil spirit left him.
