18. One of the young men answered and said, “I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite who is skillful in playing music. He is a mighty man of valor, a warrior, prudent in speech, a handsome man, and Adonai is with him.”
19. So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the flock.”
20. So Jesse took a donkey, loaded it with bread, a bottle of wine and a young goat, and sent them with his son David to Saul.
21. Then David came to Saul and became one of his attendants. Saul loved him greatly, so David became his armor-bearer.
22. Then Saul sent word to Jesse saying, “Let David now keep attending me, for he has found favor in my eyes.”
23. It came to pass, whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand. So Saul would find relief and feel better, as the evil spirit departed from him.
