“One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre.  He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man.  And the Lord is with him.”  Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”  So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul.  David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers.” 1 Samuel 16:18–21
