1. 1 Samuel 16:18 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

How did Saul’s servant know that the LORD was with David?

1 Samuel 16:18 (ESV)

18 One of the young men answered, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence, and the LORD is with him.”

Presumably, as a result of David’s abilities and all-round character, the servant concluded that the Lord was at work in him.
