Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him — one of the servants mentions David, describing him as: skilled in playing the harp ('ben Yishai habbeit-haleḥmiy shomir kelim), valiant ('gibhor ḥayil), a warrior ('ish milḥamah), wise in speech ('sakal b'davarim), handsome ('yafeh to'ar'), and one 'with whom the LORD is' ('v'YHWH im'o'). The recommendation emphasizes David's multifaceted competence and divine favor.
