15 And Sauls seruauntes sayde vnto him: Beholde, an euell sprete sent of God vexed the,
16 lett oure Lord therfore commaunde his seruauntes (that are before the) to seke a man, that is a connynge player wyth an harpe: that when the euell sprete sent of God commeth vpon the, he maye playe with hys hande and thou shalt be eased.
17 Saul sayde vnto his seruauntes: prouide me a man then that can playe well, and bringe him to me.
18 Then answered one of his seruauntes and sayde: Beholde, I haue sene a sonne of Isai the Bethlehemite, that can playe vpon instrumentes, and is an actiue felowe, and a man of warre and prudent in doynge of feates, & well made and the Lorde is with hym.
19 Wherfore Saul sent messengers vnto Isai, and sayde: sende me Dauid thy sonne, which is wyth the shepe.
20 And Isai toke an asse laden with breed, and a flacket of wyne, and a kyd, and sent them by Dauid his sonne vnto Saul.
21 And Dauid came to Saul, & stode before him, & he loued him very well, and he was made his harnesbearer.
22 And Saul sent to Isai, sayinge: lett Dauid remayne with me, for he hath founde fauour in my syght.
23 And so it fortuned, that when the euell sprete sent of God came vpon Saul, Dauid toke an harpe, & played wyth his hande, & so Saul was refreshed, & dyd amende, and the euell sprete departed from him.
