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
Saul's attendants said to him, "An evil spirit that was sent by God is terrifying you.
16
Give us an order to look for someone who can play the harp. He will play it when the evil spirit that was sent by God comes on you. Then you will feel better."
17
So Saul said to his attendants, "Find someone who plays the harp well. Bring him to me."
18
One of the servants said, "I've seen someone who knows how to play the harp. He is a son of Jesse from Bethlehem. He's a brave man. He would make a good soldier. He's a good speaker. He's very handsome. And the LORD is with him."
19
Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse. He said, "Send me your son David, the one who takes care of your sheep."
