Context — David Serves Saul
17And Saul commanded his servants, “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him to me.”
18One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the harp. He is a mighty man of valor, a warrior, eloquent and handsome, and the LORD is with him.”
19So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
20And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and one young goat and sent them to Saul with his son David. 21When David came to Saul and entered his service, Saul loved him very much, and David became his armor-bearer.Cross References

Moses saw the bush ablaze with fire, but it was not consumed. So Moses thought, “I must go over and see this marvelous sight. Why is the bush not burning up?” When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the bush, “Moses, Moses!” “Here I am,” he answered. “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

1 Samuel 16:19 Summary
In this verse, King Saul asks Jesse to send his son David to play the harp for him because he had heard about David's exceptional skills. This shows that Saul was looking for comfort and relaxation, which is something we all need at times. As we read in Psalm 23, God is our Shepherd who takes care of us and provides for our needs, and David's experience as a shepherd would later help him understand God's care for His people. This verse is a reminder that God is always working in our lives, even when we are not aware of it, and that He has a plan to use us for His purposes, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Saul specifically ask for David to be sent to him?
Saul asked for David because one of his servants had informed him about David's exceptional skills as a harp player and his notable character, as described in 1 Samuel 16:18, and Saul was looking for someone to play the harp for him, as mentioned in 1 Samuel 16:17.
What does it mean that David was with the sheep?
David being with the sheep indicates that he was a shepherd, taking care of his father Jesse's flock, similar to the experience of other biblical figures like Moses and Jesus, who also had experiences as shepherds, as seen in Exodus 3:1 and John 10:11.
How did Saul know about David's relationship with his father Jesse?
Saul knew about David's relationship with Jesse because one of his servants had informed him about David, mentioning that he was a son of Jesse of Bethlehem, as stated in 1 Samuel 16:18.
What is the significance of Saul sending messengers to Jesse?
Saul sending messengers to Jesse signifies the king's interest in David and his desire to have David serve him, which is a pivotal moment in David's life, as it leads to his introduction to the royal court, as seen in 1 Samuel 16:21.
Reflection Questions
- What does this verse reveal about Saul's character and his needs at this point in his life?
- How does David's experience as a shepherd prepare him for his future role as a leader in Israel, and what can we learn from his example?
- What role does faith and trust in God play in this interaction between Saul and Jesse, and how can we apply this to our own lives?
- How does this verse demonstrate God's sovereignty and plan for David's life, and what does it teach us about God's involvement in our own lives?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Samuel 16:19
Wherefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse,.... For David; not choosing to take him without his leave, though Samuel suggests that kings would do so, 1 Samuel 8:11 and said, send me David, thy son,
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Samuel 16:19
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. Saul sent messengers unto Jesse ... Send me David.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Samuel 16:19
1 Samuel 16:19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which [is] with the sheep.Ver. 19. Which is with the sheep.] Saul might easily remember that himself was once of a like employment, and not now so contemptuously speak of it, as if David should therefore be sent him, because he could better prefer him. Shepherdy is ancient and honourable: “ Pascebatque suas ipse Senator oves. ” - Ovid.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Samuel 16:19
19. Thy son, which is with the sheep — Saul’s servant, who informed him of David, seems to have known this son of Jesse only as the remarkable shepherd boy.
