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.”
19. Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse. The message said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
20. So Jesse loaded a donkey with bread and a leather bag full of wine. He also took a young goat. He sent them all with his son David to Saul.
