16 Let them seek out a man who can play well on the harp; and when the evil spirit is upon you, he will play with his hands, and you shall be well. 17 And Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me. 18 Then one of the young men answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, who is skilful in playing and a mighty valiant man, a man of war and prudent in speech, a handsome man, and the LORD is with him. 19 Wherefore King Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, Send me David your son; he will be useful to me. 20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread and a skin of wine and a kid of goats, and sent them by David his son to Saul. 21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armorbearer. 22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David attend me; for he has found favor in my sight. 23 And whenever the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, David took a harp, and played on it; so Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Samuel 16:16-23, Lamsa Bible.
