1 Samuel 16:21-23

New Century Version

²¹ When David came to Saul, he began to serve him. Saul liked David and made him the officer who carried his armor. ²² Saul sent a message to Jesse, saying, “Let David stay and serve me because I like him.”

²³ When the evil spirit from God troubled Saul, David would take his harp and play. Then the evil spirit would leave him, and Saul would feel better.
