The story behind this colouring sheet
King Saul was often troubled and unhappy. His servants said, "Let's find someone who plays the harp beautifully. Music will help the king feel better."
One servant knew just the person: "Jesse's son David plays well, he's brave, and the Lord is with him."
So David came to the palace. Whenever King Saul was troubled, David picked up his harp and played. The music calmed the king, and he felt better.
David also wrote many songs, called psalms, which are in the Bible. People still sing them today!
