Seeker Overlay ON

* And the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul , and an evil spirit from Jehovah terrified him . * And Saul 's servants said to him , Behold , now an evil spirit from God is terrifying you . * Please let our lord say to your servants before you , let them seek out a man who knows how to play on the harp . And it shall be , when the evil spirit from God is upon you , then he shall play with his hand , and it shall be well with you . * And Saul said to his servants , Now look for a man who is good at playing for me , and bring him to me . * One of the servants answered and said , Behold , I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skillful in playing , and a mighty warrior , and a man of battle , and skillful in speech , and a man of form . And Jehovah is with him . * And Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said , Send your son David to me , who is with the flock . * And Jesse took an ass , with bread , and a skin of wine , and one kid of the goats ; and he sent by the hand of his son David to Saul . * And David came to Saul and stood before him . And he loved him greatly ; and he became his armorbearer . * And Saul sent to Jesse , saying , Please let David stand before me , for he has found grace in my eyes . * And it happened , when the evil spirit from God was on Saul , then David would take the harp and play with his hand . And there was relief for Saul , and it was well with him . And the evil spirit would depart from him .
