9 Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
10 Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.”
11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?” Then he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the asheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not1 sit down till he comes here.”  
12 So he sent and brought him in. Now he was aruddy, bwith bright eyes, and good-looking. cAnd the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!”  
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and athe Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.  

A Distressing Spirit Troubles Saul

14 aBut the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and ba distressing spirit from the Lord troubled him.  
15 And Saul’s servants said to him, “Surely, a distressing spirit from God is troubling you.
16 Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will aplay it with his hand when the1 distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well.”  
17 So Saul said to his servants,1 “Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me.”  
18 Then one of the servants answered and said, “Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and athe Lord is with him.”
