1 Samuel 16:19-23

LEB(i) 19 So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, "Send me David your son who is with the sheep." 20 And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread and a skin of wine and one young goat* and sent them to Saul by the hand of David his son. 21 So David came to Saul and entered his service.* He* loved him greatly and he became Saul's armor bearer.* 22 Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me, because he has found favor in my sight."* 23 So whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the stringed instrument and play it with his hand. Then it would bring relief* for Saul; he would feel better* and the evil spirit would depart from him.
