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 servants said to him, "Look, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.
16
If our master just says the word, your servants will search for someone who knows how to play the lyre. The musician can play whenever the evil spirit from God is affecting you, and then you'll feel better."
17
Saul said to his servants, "Find me a good musician and bring him to me."
18
One of the servants responded, "I know that one of Jesse's sons from Bethlehem is a good musician. He's a strong man and heroic, a warrior who speaks well and is good-looking too. The LORD is with him."
19
So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, "Send me your son David, the one who keeps the sheep."
