Then Samuel said to Jesse,“ Are these all the boys?” And he said,“ The youngest is still left, but behold, he is tending the sheep.” So Samuel said to Jesse,“ Send word and bring him; for we will not take our places at the table until he comes here.”
So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say,“ Send me your son David, who is with the flock.”And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread and a jug of wine, and he took a young goat, and sent them to Saul by his son David.Then David came to Saul and attended him; and Saul greatly loved him, and he became his armor bearer.So Saul sent word to Jesse, saying,“ Let David now be my attendant for he has found favor in my sight.”So it came about whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would feel relieved and become well, and the evil spirit would leave him.
