And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee. | |||
Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. | |||
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. | |||
Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the L<small>ORD</small> is with him. | |||
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. | |||
And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul. | |||
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer. | |||
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight. | |||
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.<ref>1 Sam.16:15–23.</ref> | |||

The melody of the hymn “Jesus, Master Divine” was sung and played by David for the calming of the entities and the demons in King Saul. This song came from the heart of David as it came from the heart of God, for David composed his songs and was truly the instrument of healing. It contains the Electronic Presence of Jesus and his healing. | The melody of the hymn “Jesus, Master Divine” was sung and played by David for the calming of the entities and the demons in King Saul.
