1 Samuel 16:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

David Plays the Lyre for Saul

¹⁴ Now, the Lord’s Spirit had left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. ¹⁵ Saul’s officials told him, “An evil spirit from God is tormenting you. ¹⁶ Your Majesty, why don’t you command us to look for a man who can play the lyre well? When the evil spirit from God comes to you, he’ll strum a tune, and you’ll feel better.”
