16Let our lord now command your servants who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp: and it shall happen, when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well.
17Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.
18Then answered one of the young men, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, who is skillful in playing, and a mighty man of valor, and a man of war, and prudent in speech, and a comely person; and Yahweh is with him.
19Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.
20Jesse took a donkey [laden] with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
21David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.
22Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Please let David stand before me; for he has found favor in my sight.
