13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. |
14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. |
15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. |
16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. |
17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. |
18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. |
