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
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."
17
Then Saul commanded his servants, "Find me someone who plays well and bring him to me."
18
One of the young men answered, "I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play [the harp]. He is also a valiant man, a warrior, eloquent, handsome, and the Lord is with him."
19
Then Saul dispatched messengers to Jesse and said, "Send me your son David, who is with the sheep."
