21Then DavidH1732 cameH935 to SaulH7586 and 12attendedH5975H6440 him; and Saul greatlyH3966 lovedH157 him, and he becameH1961 his armorH3627 bearerH5375.

22So SaulH7586 sentH7971 word to JesseH3448, sayingH559, “Let DavidH1732 nowH4994 3beH5975H6440 my attendantH5975H6440 for he has foundH4672 favorH2580 in my sightH5869.”
