1 Samuel 16:14

David in Saul's Court

14 Now the Spirit of the Lord had left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord began to torment him,[a]

1 Samuel 16:14 In-Context

12 So Jesse sent for him. He had beautiful eyes and a healthy, handsome appearance. Then the Lord said, "Anoint him, for he is the one."
13 So Samuel took the horn of oil, anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the Lord took control of David from that day forward. Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
14 Now the Spirit of the Lord had left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord began to torment him,
15 so Saul's servants said to him, "You see that an evil spirit from God is tormenting you.
16 Let our lord command your servants here in your presence to look for someone who knows how to play the harp. Whenever the evil spirit from God [troubles] you, that person can play the harp, and you will feel better."
