New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
17
So Saul said to his servants, 'Now select for me a man who can play well, and bring
him
to me.'
18
Then one of the young men responded and said, 'Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is a skillful musician, a valiant mighty man, a warrior, skillful in speech, and a handsome man; and the
Lord
is with him.'
19
So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, 'Send me your son David, who is with the flock.'
20
And Jesse took a donkey
loaded with
bread and a jug of wine, and
he took
a young goat, and sent
them
to Saul by his son David.
21
Then David came to Saul and attended him; and
Saul
greatly loved him, and he became his armor bearer.

And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
18
Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the
Lord
is with him.
19
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
20
And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
21
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.

Lord
is with him.'
19
So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, 'Send me your son David, the shepherd.'
