*
But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul Sha #
uwl #,
and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him .
*
And Sauls servants said unto him ,
Behold now ,
an evil spirit from God troubleth thee .
*
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 .
*
And Saul said unto his servants ,
Provide me now a man that can play well ,
and bring him to me .
*
Then answered one of the servants na #
ar #,
and said ,
Behold ,
I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite Beyth hal-Lachmiy #,
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 .
*
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse ,
and said ,
Send me David thy son ,
which is with the sheep tso #
n #.
*
And Jesse took an ass laden with bread ,
and a bottle of wine ,
and a kid g @

and sent them by David his son unto Saul Sha #
uwl #.
*
And David came to Saul Sha #
uwl #,
and stood before him :
and he loved him greatly m @#
od #;
and he became his armourbearer .
*
And Saul sent to Jesse ,
saying ,
Let David ,
I pray thee ,
stand before me ;
for he hath found favour in my sight .
*
And it came to pass ,
when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul Sha #
uwl #,
that David took an harp ,
and played with his hand :
so Saul was refreshed ,
and was well ,
and the evil spirit departed from him .
