1 Samuel 16:14-19

141Now the Spirit of the Lord left Saul, and 2an evil spirit from the Lord terrified him.

15Saul’s servants then said to him, “Behold now, an evil spirit from God is terrifying you.

16May our lord now command your servants who are before you. Have them search for a man who is a skillful musician on the harp; and it shall come about whenever the evil spirit from God is upon you, that 3he shall play the harp with his hand, and you will become well.”

17So Saul said to his servants, “Now select for me a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”

18Then one of the young men responded and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is a skillful musician, 4a valiant mighty man, a warrior, skillful in speech, and a handsome man; and 5the Lord is with him.”

19So Saul sent messengers to Jesse 6to say, “Send me your son David, who is with the flock.”
