14. But the Lord’s Spirit had left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
15. Saul’s servants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.
16. Give us the command to look for someone who can play the harp. When the evil spirit from God troubles you, he will play, and you will feel better.”
