16:23 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.
17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
David's harp, often referred to as a lyre, traditionally had ten strings. In biblical texts, it is commonly associated with King David, who is said to have played it to soothe King Saul. The specific number of strings may vary in different interpretations, but ten is the most widely accepted figure.

Actually the answer is both yes and no. The Irish harp is obviously Irish, but the Italians had a harp that is now called the Welsh harp. King David of the Bible had a harp and he was Jewish. Harp has been around for ages, it has come from many different locations, it does not belong to any one group. The most common form is the Irish harp, but that does not mean it is solely from Ireland. yes
When spirits disturbed king Saul, David who was only about 10 years old played the harp.
The bible says David as a young man played the harp for king Saul to get better.
The musical instrument that would soothe King Saul's spirit was the harp. It says so in 1 Samuel 16: 23 that Saul was pleased with David's harp playing and relief would come to Saul.
God sends an evil spirit to torment Saul (1 Samuel 16:14) and his attendants suggest he send for David, a young warrior famed for his bravery and for his skill with the harp. Saul does so, and makes David one of his armor-bearers. From then on, "whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would take his harp and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him."

A:1 Samuel 16:13 tells of Saul meeting David, son of Jesse, and of Saul anointing David with oil. 1 Samuel 16:21 says that, Saul having sent again for David, David came to him and became his armour bearer. 1 Samuel 17:31-32 says that David came to Saul, proposing to slay Goliath, and Saul gave David his own armour. 1 Samuel 17:58 then says that after killing Goliath, David came again to Saul, but Saul did not even recognise him. The author of this particular narrative seems unaware that elsewhere in the book, David had already been the king's armour bearer and then his personal musician.
The harp is commonly associated with King David because, according to biblical accounts, he was a skilled harpist who played to soothe King Saul's troubled spirit. This musical instrument symbolizes David's artistic talents and his deep connection to God. Additionally, the harp represents his role as a shepherd and leader, reflecting both his humble beginnings and his eventual rise to kingship in Israel. The harp has thus become an enduring symbol of David's legacy and his contributions to music and worship.
