20 Y tomó Isaí un asno [cargado] de pan, y una vasija de vino y un cabrito, y enviólo á Saúl por mano de David su hijo.

21 Y viniendo David á Saúl, estuvo delante de él: y amólo él mucho, y fué hecho su escudero.

22 Y Saúl envió á decir á Isaí: Yo te ruego que esté David conmigo; porque ha hallado gracia en mis ojos.

23 Y cuando el espíritu [malo] de parte de Dios era sobre Saúl, David tomaba el arpa, y tañía con su mano; y Saúl tenía refrigerio, y estaba mejor, y el espíritu malo se apartaba de él.
