1 Samuel 16:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁶ Let our lord now command your servants who are before you. Let them seek a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall come about when the evil spirit from God is on you, that ^(A)he shall play the harp with his hand, and you will be well.” ¹⁷ So Saul said to his servants, “Provide for me now a man who can play well and bring him to me.” ¹⁸ Then one of the young men said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is a skillful musician, ^(B)a mighty man of valor, a warrior, one prudent in speech, and a handsome man; and ^(C)the Lord is with him.”
