1 Samuel 17:32-40
32And DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 SaulH7586, “Let noH408 man’sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 on account ofH5921 thisH2088 PhilistineH6430. Your servantH5650 will goH1980 and fight himH3898H5973!”
33But SaulH7586H413H1732 repliedH559, “You cannotH3808H3201 go outH1980 againstH413 thisH2088 PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 himH5973H3588. You areH859 just a boyH5288, and heH1931 has been a warriorH376H4421 from his youthH5271.”
34DavidH1732 repliedH559, “Your servantH5650 has been tendingH7462H1961 his father’sH1 sheepH6629, and whenever a lionH738H854 or a bearH1677 cameH935 and carried offH5375 a lambH7716 from the flockH5739, 35I wentH3318 after itH310, struck it downH5221, and deliveredH5337 the lamb from its mouthH6310. If it reared upH6965 against meH5921, I would grabH2388 it by its furH2206, strike it downH5221, and kill itH4191. 36Your servantH5650 has killedH5221 lionsH738H1571 andH1571 bearsH1677; thisH2088 uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 will beH1961 like oneH259 of them, forH3588 he has defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.”
37DavidH1732 addedH559, “The LORDH3068, whoH834 delivered meH5337 from the clawsH3027 of the lionH738 and the bearH1677H1931, will deliver meH5337 from the handH3027 of thisH2088 PhilistineH6430.”
“GoH1980,” saidH559 SaulH7586, “and may the LORDH3068 beH1961 with youH5973.”
38Then SaulH7586 clothedH3847 DavidH1732 in his own tunicH4055, putH5414 a bronzeH5178 helmetH6959 onH5921 his headH7218, and dressedH3847 himH853 in armorH8302. 39DavidH1732 strappedH2296 his swordH2719 overH5921 the tunicH4055 and triedH2974 to walkH1980, butH3588 he was notH3808 accustomedH5254 to them.
“I cannotH3808H3201 walkH1980 in theseH428H3588,” DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 SaulH7586. “I am notH3808 accustomedH5254 to them.” So DavidH1732 took themH5493 offH5921. 40And David tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, selectedH977 fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 fromH4480 the brookH5158, and putH7760 themH853 in the pouchH3219 of his shepherd’sH7462 bagH3627. And with his slingH7050 in handH3027, he approachedH5066H413 the PhilistineH6430.
