1 Samuel 16:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ Saul ordered them, “Find me a man who plays well and bring him to me.”

¹⁸ One of his attendants said, “Jesse of the town of Bethlehem has a son who is a good musician. He is also a brave and handsome man, a good soldier, and an able speaker. The Lord is with him.”

¹⁹ So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, “Send me your son David, the one who takes care of the sheep.”
