New International Version Anglicized

1 Samuel 16:15-19 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

15. Saul’s attendants said to him, ‘See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.

16. Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the lyre. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes on you, and you will feel better.’

17. So Saul said to his attendants, ‘Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.’

18. One of the servants answered, ‘I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the Lord is with him.’

19. Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, ‘Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.’
