If the order of events in accurate king Saul’s first introduction to David was as his harpist. When the tormenting spirit from God pestered king Saul David the harpist was called in. I imagine one of the kings officials walking up the road toward Jerusalem passing by the fields outside of Bethlehem. He stopped because he heard a captivating melody and voice singing worship songs to God. Later he reported what he saw to the king. Saul may not have been impressed with the content of those songs but the soothing melody helped him during the periods of torment. Yet I wonder if young David did more than sing and play to ease the king’s troubled spirit? I wonder if David prayed for his disturbed king while he sang those songs of praise? I wonder if it was David’s enduring focus on God that actually brought peace to the king’s mind?
