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.

Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him."

What two biblical incidents tell of Saul meeting David?

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.

According to the Bible What are the passages that describes David's relationship with Raul?

David's relationship with Saul can be found in several scriptures. He first heard of him through an advisor who spoke highly of him as a "valiant, mighty man" and an "intelligent speaker." He also mentioned that he was "skilled" at playing (the harp) as stated at 1 Samuel 16:18. The verses that follow describe how Saul felt about his new armor-bearer/court musician. Later, the scriptures do not specify the period involved, David returned to his father, Jesse. In Samuel 17:45, David approaches Goliath in Jehovah's name and defeats him. After his popularity is gained and David is considered to be a hero with many fans, so to speak, (1 Samuel 18:6, 7) Saul, who is still the king, grows very jealous. Verse 9 says that "Saul was continually looking suspiciously at David from that day forward." The scriptures describe that hatred he began feeling for David in verses 10-16 as he attempts to murder him, but Jehovah proved to be with him (18:11). It also mentions that he appointed him as a chief soldier over a thousand men. So he took him out of his immediate company, but did not remove him altogether, yet. As David's notoriety began to flourish, even among members of his family, Saul grew to despise David and decided to have him killed (1 Samuel 19:1-3), but Jonathan warned him and helped him escape where he hid for 16 months from Saul's wrath. (1 Samuel 27:7). Saul continued to hate David and it wasn't until death by his own sword did he stop (1 Samuel 31:1-7). Even then, David, who was in the position to kill Saul (1 Samuel 24:2-7), never laid a hand against him and even commanded the execution of man who falsely claimed to have killed Saul for making such a statement (2 Samuel 1:1-16).
