1 Samuel 16:14-23
14Now the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 had departedH5493 from SaulH7586, and an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from the LORDH3068 troubled him. 15And Saul’sH7586 servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 troubleth thee. 16LetH4994 our lordH113 nowH4994 commandH3027 thy servantsH5650, whichH7307 are beforeH6440 thee, to seekH1245 outH3045 a manH376 who is a cunning playerH5059 on the harpH3658: and it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 is uponH5921 thee, that he shall playH5059 with his handH3027, and thou shalt be wellH2895. 17And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, ProvideH7200 meH413 nowH4994 a manH376 that canH7200 playH5059 wellH3190, and bringH935 him to meH413. 18Then answeredH559 one of the youngH5288 menH376, and saidH559, BeholdH2009, I have seenH7200 a sonH1121 of JesseH3448 the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in playingH5059, and a mightyH1368 manH376 of valour, and a manH376 of warH4421, and prudentH995 in speechH1697, and a comely personH376, and the LORDH3068 is with him. 19Wherefore SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto JesseH3448, and saidH559, SendH7971 meH413 DavidH1732 thy sonH1121, whichH834 is with the sheepH6629. 20And JesseH3448 tookH3947 an ass laden with breadH3899, and a bottleH4997 of wineH3196, and a kid, and sentH7971 them by DavidH1732 his sonH1121 unto SaulH7586. 21And DavidH1732 cameH935 to SaulH7586, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he lovedH157 him greatlyH3966; and he becameH1961 his armourbearer. 22And SaulH7586 sentH7971 to JesseH3448, sayingH559, LetH7971 DavidH1732, I prayH4994 thee, standH5975 beforeH6440 meH413; for he hath foundH4672 favour in my sightH5869. 23And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 was uponH5921 SaulH7586, that DavidH1732 tookH3947 the harpH3658, and playedH5059 with his handH3027: soH3947 SaulH7586 was refreshedH7304, and was wellH2895, and the evilH7451 spiritH7307 departedH5493 from him.
