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 the servants of Saul said to him: Behold now an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
16
Let our lord give orders, and thy servants who are before thee, will seek out a man skilful in playing on the harp, that when the evil spirit from the Lord is upon thee, he may play with his hand, and thou mayst bear it more easily.
17
And Saul said to his servants: Provide me then some man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18
And one of the servants answering, said: Behold I have seen a son of Isai, the Bethlehemite, a skilful player, and one of great strength, and a man fit for war, and prudent in his words, and a comely person: and the Lord is with him.
19
Then Saul sent messengers to Isai, saying: Send me David, thy son, who is in the pastures.
