David has just been anointed as the "prince" of Israel and immediately the Spirit of God leaves Saul and comes to David. IN the absence of this Spirit, an evil spirit comes and invades Saul. Seeking out some distraction from this spirit, Saul calls David into service as one who can play the harp so that he might drive this spirit out in times of distress and anxiety. What does all all of this tell us about the Old Testament's view of the Spirit of God and how does it contrast with what we find in the New Testament scriptures?
