Kings I 16:17 In-Context

15 And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, and evil spirit from the Lord torments thee.

16 Let now thy servants speak before thee, and let them seek for our lord a man skilled to play on the harp; and it shall come to pass when an evil spirit comes upon thee and he shall play on his harp, that thou shalt be well, and he shall refresh thee.

17 And Saul said to his servants, Look now out for me a skilful player, and bring him to me.

18 And one of his servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jessae the Bethleemite, and he understands playing , and the man prudent, and a warrior, and wise in speech, and the man handsome, and the Lord with him.

19 And Saul sent messengers to Jessae, saying, Send to me thy son David who is with thy flock.
