New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁷ So Saul said to his servants, ‘Provide for me someone who can play well, and bring him to me.’ 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.’
