18 And one of the servants answers and says, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skillful in playing, and a mighty, virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in word, and a man of form, and YHWH [is] with him.” 19 And Saul sends messengers to Jesse and says, “Send to me your son David, who [is] with the flock.” 20 And Jesse takes a donkey, bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sends [them] by the hand of his son David to Saul. 21 And David comes to Saul, and stands before him, and he loves him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons. 22 And Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.” 23 And it has come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from] God being on Saul, that David has taken the harp, and played with his hand, and Saul has refreshment and gladness, and the spirit of sadness has turned aside from off him. 1 Samuel 16:18-23, Literal Standard Version.
