14Now the spirit of the Lord had gone from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord was troubling him.
15And Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.
16Now give orders to your servants who are here before you to go in search of a man who is an expert player on a corded instrument: and it will be that when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will make music for you on his instrument, and you will get well.
17And Saul said to his servants, Then get me a man who is an expert player, and make him come to me.
18Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.
19So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.
20And Jesse took five cakes of bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them to Saul by David.
