1 Samuel 16:14-19

14Now, the Lord’s Spirit had left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.

15Saul’s officials told him, “An evil spirit from God is tormenting you.

16Your Majesty, why don’t you command us to look for a man who can play the lyre well? When the evil spirit from God comes to you, he’ll strum a tune, and you’ll feel better.”

17Saul told his officials, “Please find me a man who can play well and bring him to me.”

18One of the officials said, “I know one of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem who can play well. He’s a courageous man and a warrior. He has a way with words, he is handsome, and the Lord is with him.”

19Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
