Lalu salah seorang dari para pelayan itu menjawab, “Sungguh, aku telah melihat seorang anak Isai, orang Betlehem itu, yang pandai bermain musik. Ia seorang yang gagah perkasa dan seorang prajurit, bijaksana dalam perkara, dan elok perawakannya, dan Yang Mahakekal menyertai dia.”

One of the youths. The special one, [i.e.,] Do'eg, the Edomite.8See Maseches Sanhedrin 93b.
Rashi
Knows how to play. His entire intention was to induce Shaul's evil eye into Dovid, that he envy him.9See Ibid., which states that it was Do’eg’s intention to arouse Shaul’s envy and therefore he gave Dovid excessive praise which was irrelevant to the position for which Shaul needed him. Do’eg neither described Dovid’s musical talents nor the instrument that he played.
