And Da-vid felt a great change in his heart, for the Lord was there to make him strong and wise, and fit for the high place he was to fill.
But there was no peace in Saul's heart, and his mind was ill at ease.
And his men said it might soothe him to have some one play on the harp. For sweet sounds will some-times calm the mind.
So Saul said, Find a man who can play well on the harp, and bring him to me.
And one of them said that he knew such a man. He was the son of Jes-se, who dwelt at Beth-le-hem, and his name was Da-vid.
And Saul sent men to Jes-se and told him to send Da-vid, his son, who kept the sheep.
And Da-vid came to Saul, and stayed with him to wait on him. And when Saul was sad and ill at ease, Da-vid would take his harp and play for him, and he would soon be well.
