1 Samuel 16:14-19
14Now the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah departedH5493 from SaulH7586, and an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from Jehovah troubled him. 15And Saul’s servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Behold now, an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 troubleth thee. 16Let our lordH113 now command thy servantsH5650, that are before thee, to seekH1245 out a manH376 who is a skilful player on the harpH3658: and it shall come to pass, when the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 is upon thee, that he shall playH5059 with his handH3027, and thou shalt beH1961 wellH2895. 17And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, Provide me now a manH376 that can playH5059 wellH3190, and bringH935 him to me. 18Then answered oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH376, and saidH559, Behold, I have seenH7200 a sonH1121 of JesseH3448 the Beth-lehemite, that is skilful in playingH5059, and a mightyH1368 manH376 of valor, and a manH376 of warH4421, and prudent in speech, and a comely personH376; and Jehovah is with him. 19Wherefore SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto JesseH3448, and saidH559, SendH7971 me DavidH1732 thy sonH1121, who is with the sheepH6629.
