20 E tomou Jessé um asno carregado de pão, e uma vasilha de vinho e um cabrito, e enviou-o a Saul por meio de Davi seu filho.

21 E vindo Davi a Saul, esteve diante dele: e amou-o ele muito, e foi feito seu escudeiro.

22 E Saul enviou a dizer a Jessé: Eu te rogo que esteja Davi comigo; porque achou graça em meus olhos.

23 E quando o espírito mau da parte de Deus era sobre Saul, Davi tomava a harpa, e tocava com sua mão; e Saul tinha refrigério, e estava melhor, e o espírito mau se afastava dele.
