Saul’s Spirit Is Troubled
14 Now the Spirit of the Lord left Saul. And a bad spirit sent from the Lord brought trouble upon him. 15 Saul’s servants said to him, “See, a bad spirit from God is bringing you trouble. 16 Let our lord now tell your servants who are in front of you to look for a man who is a good player of the harp. When the bad spirit sent from God is upon you, he will play the harp, and you will be well.”
