17. And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18. Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is skillful in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
19. Wherefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send to me David thy son, who is with the sheep.
20. And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
21. And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armor-bearer.
22. And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath 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.
