13. So Samuel took the container of olive oil. Then he poured oil on Jesse’s youngest son to appoint him in front of his brothers. From that day on, the Lord’s Spirit entered David with power. Samuel then went back to Ramah.
14. But the Lord’s Spirit had gone out of Saul. And an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
15. Saul’s servants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.
16. Give us the command. We will look for someone who can play the harp. When the evil spirit from the Lord enters you, he will play. Then the evil spirit will leave you alone. And you will feel better.”
17. So Saul said to his servants, “Find someone. If he plays well, bring him to me.”
18. One of the servants said, “Jesse of Bethlehem has a son who plays the harp. I have seen him play it. He is a brave man and fights well. He is a good speaker and handsome. And the Lord is with him.”
