20. So Jesse got some things as a gift for Saul. Jesse got a donkey, some bread and a leather bag full of wine, and a young goat. He gave them to David and sent him to Saul.
21. So David went to Saul and stood in front of him. Saul loved David very much. David became the helper who carried Saul’s weapons.
22. Saul sent a message to Jesse. “Let David stay and serve me. I like him very much.”
23. Any time the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David would take his harp and play it. The evil spirit would leave Saul and he would begin to feel better.
