10. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD has not chosen these.
11. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and bring him: for we will not sit down till he comes here.
12. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and of a beautiful countenance, and handsome. And the LORD said,
13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
14. But the spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
15. And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
16. Let our lord now command your servants, which are before you, to seek out a man, who is a skillful player on a harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well.
17. And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
