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.”
17. Saul said to his servants, “Find me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.”
18. Then one from the servants answered, and said, “I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is experienced in playing music, a mighty man of valor, a man of battle, and skillful in words, even a man of fine appearance. And the Lord is with him.”
19. Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.”
20. Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, a bottle of wine, and a young goat and he sent them with his son David to Saul.
21. David came to Saul, and stood before him. And Saul loved him greatly and he became his armor bearer.
22. Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”
23. It happened that when the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David would take the lyre in his hand and play. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
