1 Samuel 17:4-23

4And there wentH3318 out a champion from the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239.

5And he had a helmetH3553 of bronzeH5178 upon his headH7218, and he was clothedH3847 with a corselet of scalesH7193; and the weightH4948 of the corselet was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of bronzeH5178.

6And he had greaves of bronzeH5178 upon his legs, and a javelinH3591 of bronzeH5178 between his shouldersH3802.

7And the shaft of his spearH2595 was like a weaver's beamH4500; and his spear's head weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270; and the shield-bearer wentH1980 before him.

8And he stoodH5975 and cried to the ranks of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 to them, WhyH4100 are ye comeH3318 out to setH5975 your battleH4421 in array? am not I the PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 of SaulH7586? choose for yourselves a manH376, and let him comeH3318 down to me.

9If he beH1961 ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me, and to smite me, then will we beH1961 your servantsH5650; but if I overcome and smite him, then shall ye beH1961 our servantsH5650 and serveH5647 us.

10And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I have defied the ranks of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376, that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.

11And SaulH7586 and all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 these wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, and they were dismayedH2865 and greatly afraidH3372.

12Now DavidH1732 was the sonH1121 of that EphrathiteH673 of Bethlehem-Judah whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448; and he had eightH8083 sonsH1121; and the manH376 was old in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586, advanced [in years] among menH376.

13And the threeH7969 eldest of the sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 had goneH1980 and followed SaulH7586 to the battleH4421; and the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 that wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and the secondH4932 to him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048.

14And DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996; and the threeH7969 eldest had followed SaulH7586.

15But DavidH1732 wentH1980 and returnedH7725 from SaulH7586 to feedH7462 his father's sheepH6629 at Bethlehem.

16And the PhilistineH6430 drewH5066 near morning and eveningH6150, and presentedH3320 himself fortyH705 daysH3117.

17And JesseH3448 saidH559 to DavidH1732 his sonH1121, TakeH3947, I pray, for thy brethren, this ephahH374 of parched [corn] and these tenH6235 loaves, and carry them quicklyH7323 to the campH4264 to thy brethren;

18and carry these tenH6235 cheeses to the captain of the thousandH505, and visitH6485 thy brethren to see how they are, and takeH3947 a pledge of them.

19Now SaulH7586, and they, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 [were] in the valleyH6010 of terebinths, fightingH3898 against the PhilistinesH6430.

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].
