Years ago I used to be able to use mail merge to easily produce letters and envelopes with names and addresses.
A few years later I wanted to perform a mail merge and could not remember how to do so.

Saul sent a message to Jesse: “Tell your son David to leave your sheep and come here to me.”
Jesse loaded a donkey with bread and a goatskin full of wine then he told David to take the donkey and a young goat to Saul.

Whenever the evil spirit from God bothered Saul, David would play his harp. Saul would relax and feel better, and the evil spirit would go away.
