1 Samuel 16:12-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

12. So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy with beautiful eyes and a good appearance.And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”

13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord came on David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

14. Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul and an evil spirit from the Lord terrified him.

15. So the servants of Saul said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God troubles you.

16. Let our lord now tell your servants, who are before you, that they might seek out a man experienced in playing the lyre. And it will come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he will play with his hand, and you will be well.”
