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
Some of Saul’s servants said to him, “A tormenting spirit from God is troubling you.
16
Let us find a good musician to play the harp whenever the tormenting spirit troubles you. He will play soothing music, and you will soon be well again.”
17
“All right,” Saul said. “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him here.”
18
One of the servants said to Saul, “One of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that—he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the LORD is with him.”
19
So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, “Send me your son David, the shepherd.”
