1 Samuel 17:12-30

12Now DavidH1732 was 1the sonH1121 of 2the 3EphrathiteH673 of BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063, whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448, and 4he had eightH8083 sonsH1121. And 5Jesse was oldH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586, advancedH935 in years among menH376. 13The threeH7969 olderH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 had 6goneH1980 afterH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421. And 7the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 whoH834 wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and the secondH4932 to him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048. 148DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996. Now the threeH7969 oldestH1419 followedH1980H310 SaulH7586, 159but DavidH1732 wentH1980H7725 backH7725 and forth from SaulH7586 10to tendH7462 his father’sH1 flockH6629 at BethlehemH1035. 16The PhilistineH6430 cameH5066 11forwardH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150 for fortyH705 daysH3117 and tookH3320 his standH3320.

17Then JesseH3448 saidH559 to DavidH1732 his sonH1121, “12TakeH3947 nowH4994 for your brothersH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 roastedH7039 grainH7039 and theseH2088 tenH6235 loavesH3899 and runH7323 to the campH4264 to your brothersH251. 1813BringH935 also theseH428 tenH6235 cutsH2757 of cheeseH2461 to the commanderH8269 of their thousandH505, 14and lookH6485 into the welfareH7965 of your brothersH251, and bringH3947 back 15newsH6161 of them. 19For SaulH7586 and they and allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are in the valleyH6010 of ElahH424, fightingH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430.”

20So DavidH1732 aroseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and leftH5203 the flockH6629 with a keeperH8104 and tookH5375 the supplies and wentH1980 as JesseH3448 had commandedH6680 him. And he cameH935 to the 16circleH4570 of the campH4570 while the armyH2428 was goingH3318 out in battleH4634 arrayH4634 shoutingH7321 the warH4421 cryH7321. 21IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 drewH6186 up in battleH6186 array, armyH4634 againstH7122 armyH4634. 22Then DavidH1732 leftH5203 his 17baggageH3627 in the 18careH3027 of the baggageH3627 keeperH8104, and ranH7323 to the battleH4634 lineH4634 and enteredH935 in order to greetH7592H7965 his brothersH251. 23As he was talkingH1696 with them, beholdH2009, the championH376H996, the PhilistineH6430 from GathH1661 namedH8034 GoliathH1555, was comingH5927 up from the armyH4634 of the PhilistinesH6430, and he spokeH1696 19theseH428 sameH428 wordsH1697; and DavidH1732 heardH8085 them.

24When allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 the manH376, they fledH5127 from him and were greatlyH3966 afraidH3372. 25The menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, “Have you seenH7200 thisH2088 manH376 who is comingH5927 up? SurelyH3588 he is comingH5927 up to defyH2778 IsraelH3478. And it will be that the kingH4428 will enrichH6238 the manH376 whoH834 killsH5221 him with greatH1419 richesH6239 and 20will giveH5414 him his daughterH1323 and makeH6213 his father’sH1 houseH1004 21freeH2670 in IsraelH3478.”

26Then DavidH1732 spokeH559 to the menH376 who were standingH5975 by him, sayingH559, “WhatH4100 will be doneH6213 for the manH376 whoH834 killsH5221 thisH1975 PhilistineH6430 and takesH5493 awayH5493 22the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? For whoH4310 is thisH2088 23uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should 24tauntH2778 the armiesH4634 of 25the livingH2416 GodH430?” 27The peopleH5971 26answeredH559 him in accord with thisH2088 wordH1697, sayingH559, “27ThusH3541 it will be doneH6213 for the manH376 whoH834 killsH5221 him.”

28Now EliabH446 his oldestH1419 brotherH251 heardH8085 when he spokeH1696 to the menH376; and 28Eliab’sH446 angerH639 burnedH2734 against DavidH1732 and he saidH559, “WhyH4100 have you comeH3381 downH3381? And with whomH4310 have you leftH5203 thoseH2007 fewH4592 sheepH6629 in the wildernessH4057? I knowH3045 your insolenceH2087 and the wickednessH7455 of your heartH3824; for you have comeH3381 downH3381 in orderH4616 to seeH7200 the battleH4421.” 29But DavidH1732 saidH559, “WhatH4100 have I doneH6213 nowH6258? Was it not just a 29questionH1697?” 30Then he turnedH5437 30awayH5437H681 from him to anotherH312 and 31saidH559 the sameH2088 thingH1697; and the peopleH5971 answeredH7725 the sameH1697 thingH1697 as 32beforeH7223.
