Study note

1 Samuel 16:23

  • Saul would become well: David was not just a handsome young man with musical talent. He was the chosen king. David showed what a king should be: someone who brings relief. Later, David wrote many psalms that have provided comfort and relief over the years.

  • the spirit of distress would depart from him: Even those who are disobedient and rejected can find relief and comfort through the Lord’s servant.
