Saul is depressed and on his own. Samuel, meanwhile, is visiting his old friend Jesse. One of Jesse's sons, a voice prophesies, is to be the next King of the Israelites. The next morning he meets the young harp-playing shepherd boy, David. David has been invited to play at Saul's palace, and his gig is a resounding success. He is definitely in with Saul. And when David joins the army and volunteers for one-to-one combat with the Philistine giant Goliath, Saul agrees to let him try.(1 Samuel 16)
