1 Samuel 16:21 in Context — 1 Samuel 16
19 Saül envoya des messagers à Isaï, pour lui dire: Envoie-moi David, ton fils, qui est avec les brebis.
20 Isaï prit un âne, qu’il chargea de pain, d’une outre de vin et d’un chevreau, et il envoya ces choses à Saül par David, son fils.
21 David arriva auprès de Saül, et se présenta devant lui; il plut beaucoup à Saül, et il fut désigné pour porter ses armes.
22 Saül fit dire à Isaï: Je te prie de laisser David à mon service, car il a trouvé grâce à mes yeux.
23 Et lorsque l’esprit de Dieu était sur Saül, David prenait la harpe et jouait de sa main; Saül respirait alors plus à l’aise et se trouvait soulagé, et le mauvais esprit se retirait de lui.
