1 Samuel 16:21-23 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

21. So David came to Saul and entered his service. He loved him greatly and he became Saul’s armor bearer.

22. Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, because he has found favor in my sight.”

23. So whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the stringed instrument and play it with his hand. Then it would bring relief for Saul; he would feel better and the evil spirit would depart from him.
