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 withyou.

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 one who bore his articles for him.

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.
