1 Samuel 17:32-40
32And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Let no man’sH120 heartH3820 fail because of him; thy servantH5650 will go and fightH3898 with this PhilistineH6430. 33And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art not ableH3201 to go against this PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 with him; for thou art but a youthH5271, and he a manH376 of warH4421 from his youthH5271. 34And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 wasH1961 keeping his father’sH1 sheepH6629; and when there cameH935 a lionH738, or a bearH5375, and tookH5375 a lambH7716 out of the flockH6629, 35I wentH3318 out after him, and smote him, and deliveredH5337 it out of his mouthH6310; and when he aroseH6965 against me, I caught him by his beardH2206, and smote him, and slew him. 36Thy servantH5650 smote both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall beH1961 as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living GodH430. 37And DavidH1732 saidH559, Jehovah that deliveredH5337 me out of the paw of the lionH738, and out of the paw of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337 me out of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Go, and Jehovah shall beH1961 with thee. 38And SaulH7586 clad DavidH1732 with his apparel, and he putH5414 a helmetH6959 of brass upon his headH7218, and he clad him with a coat of mail. 39And DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 upon his apparel, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And DavidH1732 put them off him. 40And he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977 him fiveH2568 smooth stonesH68 out of the brook, and putH7760 them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his handH3027: and he drewH5066 near to the PhilistineH6430.
