1 Samuel 16:14-23

MKJV(i) 14 But the spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Jehovah terrified him. 15 And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God terrifies you. 16 Let our lord now command his servants before you to seek out a man who knows to play on a harp. And it shall be, when the evil spirit from God is on you, then he shall play with his hand, and it shall be well with you. 17 And Saul said to his servants, Now look for me a man who can play well, and bring him to me. 18 And one of the servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing, and a mighty warrior and a man of battle, and prudent in speech. And he is a person of good form, and Jehovah is with him. 19 And Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me your son David, who is with the sheep. 20 And Jesse took an ass loaded with bread and a skin 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, Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight. 23 And it happened when the spirit from God was on Saul, that David took a harp and played with his hand. And there was relief for Saul, and it was well with him, and the evil spirit departed from him.
