19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers vnto Isai, and said: Sende me Dauid thy sonne, which is with the sheepe.

20 And Isai tooke an asse laden with bread, and a flacket of wine, and a kyd, and sent them by Dauid his sonne vnto Saul.

21 And Dauid came to Saul, and stoode before him, and he loued him very well, & he was made his harnesse bearer.

22 And Saul sent to Isai, saying: Let Dauid nowe remaine with me, for he hath founde fauour in my sight.

23 And so when the euill spirite of God came vpon Saul, Dauid toke an harpe and played with his hand: and so Saul was refreshed, & did amende, and the euyll spirite departed from him.
