1 Samuel 16:14-23: “An evil spirit troubled King Saul and it made him afraid, his officials told him. ‘Your Majesty, let us go and look for someone who is good at playing the harp. He can play music for you whenever the evil spirit bothers you, and you’ll feel better''. A young man called David was found. David went to King Saul and started working for him. Whenever the evil spirit from bothered Saul, David would play music. Saul would relax and feel better, and the evil spirit would go away.”
