¹⁵ Now David went to and from Saul, looking after his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.

¹¹ Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.

¹⁹ So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.

²⁰ And Jesse took five cakes of bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them to Saul by David.

²¹ And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms.

²² And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.

²³ And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.
