1 Samuel 16:16-18

English Standard Version

¹⁶ Let our lord now command your servants ^(A)who are before you to seek out a man who is skillful in playing the lyre, and when the harmful spirit from God is upon you, he will ^(B)play it, and you will be well.” ¹⁷ So Saul said to his servants, “Provide for me a man who can play well and bring him to me.” ¹⁸ One of the young men answered, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, ^(C)a man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence, ^(D)and the Lord is with him.”
