1 Samuel 16:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁸ One of the young men answered, ‘I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is skilful in playing, a man of valour, a warrior, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence; and the Lord is with him.’ ¹⁹ So Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, ‘Send me your son David who is with the sheep.’ ²⁰ Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a kid, and sent them by his son David to Saul.
