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
And Saul's servants said to him, "Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you.
16
Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well."
17
So Saul said to his servants, "Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me."
18
Then one of the servants answered and said, "Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the Lord is with him."
19
Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me your son David, who is with the sheep."
