14耶和華的靈離開了掃羅，有個邪靈從耶和華那裡來折磨他。15掃羅的臣僕對他說：「現在有個邪靈從上帝那裡來折磨你，16你*可以吩咐跟前的臣僕去找一個善於彈琴的人來。邪靈從上帝那裡來到你身上的時候，他為你彈琴，你就會好。」17掃羅說：「你們就為我找一個善於彈琴的人，帶他到我這裡來。」18其中有一個僕人說：「我見過伯利恆耶西的一個兒子，他善於彈琴，英勇善戰，談吐合宜，相貌英俊，並且耶和華與他同在。」19掃羅便差遣使者去見耶西，說：「請讓你放羊的兒子大衛到我這裡來。」20耶西就把一些餅、一皮袋酒和一隻山羊羔馱在驢背上，讓兒子大衛帶去送給掃羅。21大衛到了掃羅那裡，做了他身邊的侍臣。掃羅非常喜歡大衛，讓大衛為他拿兵器。22掃羅派人去見耶西，說：「你就讓大衛留在我的身邊吧，因為我喜歡他。」23每當有邪靈從上帝那裡來到掃羅身上的時候，大衛就為他彈琴，掃羅便覺得舒暢，邪靈也離開了他。

David Anointed King
1The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.”2And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” And the Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’3And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. And you shall anoint for me him whom I declare to you.”4Samuel did what the Lord commanded and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling and said, “Do you come peaceably?”5And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.6When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.”7But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”8Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”9Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”10And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.”11Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest,* but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.”12And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”13Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.
David in Saul’s Service
14Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him.15And Saul’s servants said to him, “Behold now, a harmful spirit from God is tormenting you.16Let our lord now command your servants who are before you to seek out a man who is skillful in playing the lyre, and when the harmful spirit from God is upon you, he will play it, and you will be well.”17So Saul said to his servants, “Provide for me a man who can play well and bring him to me.”18One of the young men answered, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence, and the Lord is with him.”19Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.”20And Jesse took a donkey laden with bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them by David his son to Saul.21And David came to Saul and entered his service. And Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor-bearer.22And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Let David remain in my service, for he has found favor in my sight.”23And whenever the harmful spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him.
