David stands before Saul and plays the harp

사울 앞에 모셔 서서 수금을 탄 다윗

1 Samuel 16:19–23: therefore Saul sends messengers to Jesse, and says, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.” Jesse takes a donkey loaded with bread, a container of wine, and a young goat, and sends them by David his son to Saul. David comes to Saul and stands before him. The text goes on, “He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.” Saul sends to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.” When the spirit from God is on Saul, David takes the harp and plays with his hand; so Saul is refreshed and is well, and the evil spirit departs from him. The Korean Revised Version says at 16:21 that Saul loved David greatly and made him his armor bearer, and at 16:23 calls it the evil spirit from God (하나님의 부리신 악신).
