King James 2000

1 Samuel 16:18-23 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

18. Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is skillful in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a handsome person, and the LORD is with him.

19. Therefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.

20. And Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, and a skin of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.

21. And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armorbearer.

22. And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight.

23. And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
