14But the SpiritH7307 of YhwhH3068 departedH5493 from SaulH7586, and an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from YhwhH3068 troubledH1204 him.1 15And Saul’sH7586 servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Behold now, an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 troublethH1204 thee. 16Let our lordH113 now commandH559 thy servantsH5650, which are beforeH6440 thee, to seek outH1245 a manH376, who is a cunningH3045 playerH5059 on an 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 be wellH2895. 17And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, ProvideH7200 me now a manH376 that can playH5059 wellH3190, and bringH935 him to me. 18Then answeredH6030 oneH259 of the servantsH5288, and saidH559, Behold, I have seenH7200 a sonH1121 of JesseH3448 the Beth–lehemiteH1022, that is cunningH3045 in playingH5059, and a mightyH1368 valiant manH2428, and a manH376 of warH4421, and prudentH995 in mattersH1697, and a comelyH8389 personH376, And YhwhH3068 is with him.2

19Wherefore SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto JesseH3448, and saidH559, SendH7971 me DavidH1732 thy sonH1121, which is with the sheepH6629.
