The painting depicts Saul, the king of the Israelites. He is visually touched by the harp playing. The depicted situation comes from 1 Samuel 16:14-23 and 1 Samuel 18:8-11, in which King Saul is abandoned by the Holy Spirit, and God sends him an evil spirit. It taunts Saul, and only David's harp playing can relax him.
Saul's renewed plans to kill David were now brought into the open (verse 1), but Jonathan became David's conciliator, reminding Saul that David was innocent and his success was YHWH's victory, so Saul should not kill a person endowed with divine power like David. [15] Saul listened and promised under divine oath not to kill David (verse 5 ...
Saul's attitude toward David was excused by arguing that his courtiers were all tale-bearers, and slandered David to him; [81] and in like manner he was incited by Doeg against the priests of Nob [82] —this act was forgiven him, however, and a heavenly voice was heard, proclaiming: "Saul is the chosen one of God".

Samuel waited, and when he arrived God asked the prophet to anoint David as king over Israel (1 Samuel 16:13).

Jesse sent his son along with some gifts for the King.

Saul feared David (verses 12, 15, 29) as Saul acknowledged that God was with David, whereas God had abandoned Saul (verse 12). [5] Since then, a prominent theme appears in which Saul was thwarted in all his plans to hurt David, while for David each attempt became an opportunity to further his triumph (verses 14, 30).
