1Samuel:16:14-23
rotherham@1Samuel:16:14 @ But, the spirit of Yahweh, departed from Saul, and there terrified him a sad spirit, from Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:15 @ Then said the servants of Saul unto him, Lo! we pray thee, a sad superhuman spirit, doth terrify thee:
rotherham@1Samuel:16:16 @ Pray let our lord bid thy servants before thee, seek out a man, skilled in playing on the lyre, so shall it be, when a sad superhuman spirit cometh on thee, then shall he play with his hand, and thou shalt be joyful.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:17 @ And Saul said unto his servants, I pray you, look out for me a man that excelleth in playing, and bring him in unto me.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:18 @ Then responded one of the young men and said Lo! I have seena son of Jesse, the Bethlehemite, skilled in playing, and a mighty man of valour, and a man of war, and of intelligent speech, and a handsome man, and, Yahweh, is with him.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:19 @ So Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send, unto me David thy son, who is with the sheep.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:20 @ Then took Jesse an ass laden with bread, and a skin of wine, and one kid, and sent by the hand of David his son, unto Saul.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:21 @ And David came in unto Saul, and stood before him, and he loved him greatly, and he became his armour-bearer.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:22 @ And Saul sent unto Jesse, saying, I pray thee, let David stand before me, for he hath found favour in mine eyes.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:23 @ And so it used to be, when a superhuman spirit came unto Saul, then would David take the lyre, and play with his hand, and Saul would be refreshed, and be joyful, and, the sad spirit, would depart from him.
