And it came to pass, when the,evil spirit from U'd was upon Saul, that David took an' harp, arid placed with hid hand : so Saul was re freshed,-and was well, and the evil Fpirit de parted from him.

I have been obliged to discard U., Tq assist him in understanding the, subject the ; plain reader should be informed that the respective books of the Bible were Lot originally divided into chapters and verses, as wq new have them, but each was continuous. The division was performed by men : in modern day s,in days long subseneut to those, of , apostolic inspi; ration. - This division has commonly but not always been performed with good judgment. oco joua .viu i ; mis terse anouid evi dently have been attached at the close of the Jth chap: or.)
