1 Samuel 16:17-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. And Saul said to his servants, "Then provide for me someone who can play well, and bring him to me."

18. And one of the servants, responding, said: "Behold, I have seen the son of Jesse of Bethlehem, a skillful player, and very strong and robust, a man fit for war, and prudent in words, a handsome man. And the Lord is with him."

19. Therefore, Saul sent messengers to Jesse, saying, "Send to me your son David, who is in the pastures."

20. And so, Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid from one of the goats, and he sent them, by the hand of his son David, to Saul.
