1 Samuel 16:17-19

New Revised Standard Version 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 skillful in playing, a man of valor, 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.”
