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.”

19 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”

20 And Jesse ^atook a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by his son David to Saul.
