1 Samuel 17:20-54

20And DavidH1732 roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and left the sheepH6629 with a keeperH8104, and tookH5375 his charge and wentH3318, as JesseH3448 had commandedH6680 him. And he cameH935 to the wagon-defence; and the host which was goingH3318 forthH3318 to the battle-array shoutedH7321 for the fight.

21And IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 put the battleH4634 in array, rank against rank.

22And DavidH1732 leftH5203 the thingsH3627 he was carrying in the handH3027 of the keeperH8104 of the baggage, and ranH7323 into the ranks, and cameH935 and saluted his brethren.

23And as he talked with them, behold there cameH5927 up the champion, the PhilistineH6430 of GathH1661, GoliathH1555 by nameH8034, out of the ranks of the PhilistinesH6430, and spokeH1696 according to the same wordsH1697; and DavidH1732 heardH8085 [them].

24And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, when they sawH7200 the manH376, fledH5127 from him and were greatly afraidH3372.

25And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Have ye seenH7200 this manH376 that comes up? for to defyH2778 IsraelH3478 is he come up: and it shall beH1961, that the manH376 who smites him, him will the kingH4428 enrich with greatH1419 richesH6239, and will giveH5414 him his daughterH1323, and makeH5414 his father's houseH1004 freeH2670 in IsraelH3478.

26And DavidH1732 spoke to the menH376 that stoodH5975 by him, sayingH559, What shall be done to the manH376 that smites this PhilistineH6430, and takes awayH5493 the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778 the armies of the living 1GodH430?

27And the peopleH5971 told him after this mannerH1697, sayingH559, So shall it be done to the manH376 that smites him.

28And EliabH446, his eldest brotherH251, heardH8085 while he spokeH1696 to the menH376; and Eliab's angerH639 was kindled against DavidH1732, and he saidH559, WhyH4100 art thou comeH3381 down? and with whom hast thou leftH5203 those fewH4592 sheepH6629 in the wildernessH4057? I knowH3045 thy prideH2087 and the naughtiness of thy heartH3824; for thou art comeH3381 down that thou mightest seeH7200 the battleH4421.

29And DavidH1732 saidH559, What have I nowH6258 done? Was it not laid upon me?

30And he turnedH7725 from him to another, and spoke after the same mannerH1697; and the peopleH5971 answered him again after the formerH7223 mannerH1697.

31And the wordsH1697 were heardH8085 which DavidH1732 spokeH1696, and they rehearsed them before SaulH7586; and he sent for him.

32And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Let no man's 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 to SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 fed his father's sheepH6629, and there cameH935 a lionH738, and also a bearH5375, and tookH5375 a lambH7716 out of the flockH6629.

35And I wentH3318 after him, and smote him, and deliveredH5337 it out of his mouthH6310; and when he aroseH6965 against me, I seized 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, because he has defied the armies of the living 2GodH430.

37And DavidH1732 saidH559, Jehovah who 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 to DavidH1732, Go, and Jehovah beH1961 with thee.

38And SaulH7586 clothedH3847 DavidH1732 with his dress, and putH5414 a helmetH6959 of bronzeH5178 upon his headH7218, and clothedH3847 him with a corselet.

39And DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 upon his dress, and endeavoured to go; for he had not yet tried [it]. And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, I cannot go in these; for I have never tried [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 that he had, into the pocket; and his sling was in his handH3027. And he drewH5066 near to the PhilistineH6430.

41And the PhilistineH6430 cameH1980 on and approached DavidH1732; and the manH376 that boreH5375 the shieldH6793 was before him.

42And when the PhilistineH6430 lookedH7200 about and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdained him; for he wasH1961 a youthH5288, and ruddy, and besides of a beautifulH3303 countenance.

43And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comest to me with staves? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his 3godsH430.

44And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Come to me, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 to the fowls of the heavensH8064 and to the beasts of the fieldH7704.

45And DavidH1732 saidH559 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comest to me with swordH2719, and with spearH2595, and with javelinH3591; but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, the 4GodH430 of the armiesH6635 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defied.

46This dayH3117 will Jehovah deliver thee up into my handH3027; and I will smite thee, and take thy headH7218 from thee; and I will giveH5414 the carcases of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 to the fowl of the heavensH8064 and to the wild beasts of the earthH776. And all the earthH776 shall knowH3045 that IsraelH3478 has a 5GodH430;

47and all this congregation shall knowH3045 that Jehovah savesH3467 not with swordH2719 and spearH2595; for the battleH4421 is Jehovah's, and he will giveH5414 you into our handsH3027.

48And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and came and advanced to meetH7122 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hasted, and ranH7323 towards the ranks to meetH7122 the PhilistineH6430.

49And DavidH1732 put his handH3027 into the 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 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776.

50So DavidH1732 overcame the PhilistineH6430 with a sling and a stoneH68, and smote the PhilistineH6430 and killed him; and there was no swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732.

51And DavidH1732 ranH7323, and stoodH5975 upon the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947 his swordH2719, and drewH8025 it out of its sheathH8593, and killedH4191 him completely, and cutH3772 off his headH7218 with it. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 that their hero was deadH4191, they fledH5127.

52And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965, and shoutedH7321, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, until thou comest to the ravine and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fellH5307 downH5307 on the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, even to GathH1661, and to EkronH6138.

53And the children of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 from chasing after the PhilistinesH6430, and they pillaged their campsH4264.

54And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430 and broughtH935 it to JerusalemH3389; but he putH7760 his armour in his tentH168.
