Then he asked him, "Do you have any more sons?" Jesse answered, "There is still the youngest, but he is out taking care of the sheep." "Tell him to come here," Samuel said. "We won't offer the sacrifice until he comes."

So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, "Send me your son David, the one who takes care of the sheep."

David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much and chose him as the man to carry his weapons.

From then on, whenever the evil spirit sent by God came on Saul, David would get his harp and play it. The evil spirit would leave, and Saul would feel better and be all right again.
