1 Samuel 17:42-49
42And when the PhilistineH6430 lookedH7200 about, and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdained him; for he wasH1961 but a youthH5288, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance. 43And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comest to me with staves? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430. 44And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Come to me, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 unto the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and to the beasts of the fieldH7704. 45Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comest to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a javelinH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH6635 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defied. 46This dayH3117 will Jehovah deliver thee into my handH3027; and I will smite thee, and take thy headH7218 from off thee; and I will giveH5414 the dead bodies of the host of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 unto the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and to the wild beasts of the earthH776; that all the earthH776 may knowH3045 that there is a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, 47and that all this assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that Jehovah saveth not with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is Jehovah’s, and he will giveH5414 you into our handH3027. 48And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and came and drewH7126 nigh to meetH7122 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hastenedH4116, and ranH7323 toward the army to meetH7122 the PhilistineH6430. 49And DavidH1732 put his handH3027 in his bag, and tookH3947 thence a stoneH68, and slang it, and smote the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696; and the stoneH68 sank into his foreheadH4696, and he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776.
