1 Samuel 16:23 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 16:23

21 So David came to Saul and ^astood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.

22 Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”

23 And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.

I Samuel 16:23

Undoubtedly, Saul was in the grips of very great depression; maybe we can interpret the depressing spirit as actually being a demon. It was afflicting him with depression. Somehow, even when the music of a human was played, the distressing spirit, the demon, was also nullified and he quit agitating Saul so that Saul then could get a bit of his composure back once again.
