1 Samuel 16:22-23
International Standard Version

22 Saul sent a messenger[a] to Jesse to tell him, “Allow David to serve me, because I’m pleased with him.”[b] 23 Whenever an evil[c] spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the lyre and play it.[d] Relief would come to Saul and he would be better, because the evil spirit would leave him.
