1 Samuel 16:17-23

Listen to 1 Samuel 16:17-23
17 Então disse Saul aos seus servos: Buscai-me, pois, um homem que toque bem, e trazei-mo.
18 Respondeu um dos mancebos: Eis que tenho visto um filho de Jessé, o belemita, que sabe tocar bem, e é forte e destemido, homem de guerra, sisudo em palavras, e de gentil aspecto; e o Senhor é com ele.
19 Pelo que Saul enviou mensageiros a Jessé, dizendo: Envia-me Davi, teu filho, o que está com as ovelhas.
20 Jessé, pois, tomou um jumento carregado de pão, e um odre de vinho, e um cabrito, e os enviou a Saul pela mão de Davi, seu filho.
21 Assim Davi veio e se apresentou a Saul, que se agradou muito dele e o fez seu escudeiro.
22 Então Saul mandou dizer a Jessé: Deixa ficar Davi ao meu serviço, pois achou graça aos meus olhos.
23 E quando o espírito maligno da parte de Deus vinha sobre Saul, Davi tomava a harpa, e a tocava com a sua mão; então Saul sentia alívio, e se achava melhor, e o espírito maligno se retirava dele.
