1 Samuel 17:32-40

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 1GodH430.

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.
