And Saul said unto his servants Approving of, and pleased with the advice they gave:
provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me; for being a sovereign prince, he could command whom he would to attend to his person and service.
15
Sha'ul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
16
Let 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.
17
Sha'ul said to his servants, Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.
18
Then answered one of the young men, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Yishai the Beit-Hallachmite, 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 the LORD is with him.
19
Therefore Sha'ul sent messengers to Yishai, and said, Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.
