1 Samuel 16:19-23
19So SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to JesseH3448 and saidH559, “SendH7971 me your sonH1121 DavidH1732 whoH834 is with the flockH6629.”
20JesseH3448 1tookH3947 a donkeyH2543 loaded with breadH3899 and a jugH4997 of wineH3196 and a youngH1423 goatH5795, and sentH7971 them to SaulH7586 by DavidH1732 his sonH1121.
21Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to SaulH7586 and 23attendedH6440 him; and 4Saul lovedH157 him greatlyH3966, and he becameH1961 his armorH3627 bearerH5375.
22SaulH7586 sentH7971 to JesseH3448, sayingH559, “Let DavidH1732 nowH4994 standH5975 beforeH6440 me, for he has foundH4672 favorH2580 in my sightH5869.”
23So it cameH1961 about whenever 5the evil spiritH7307 from GodH430 cameH1961 to SaulH7586, DavidH1732 would takeH3947 the harpH3658 and playH5059 it with his handH3027; and SaulH7586 would be refreshedH7304 and be wellH2895, and the evilH7451 spiritH7307 would departH5493 from him.
