David in Saul's Service

^14 (A)Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, ^(B)and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him. ¹⁵ And Saul's servants said to him, “Behold now, a harmful spirit from God is tormenting you. ¹⁶ Let our lord now command your servants ^(C)who are before you to seek out a man who is skillful in playing the lyre, and when the harmful spirit from God is upon you, he will ^(D)play it, and you will be well.”

²¹ And David came to Saul ^(A)and entered his service. And Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor-bearer.

²³ And ^(A)whenever the harmful spirit from God was upon Saul, David took the lyre ^(B)and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him.
