1 Samuel 17:32-50

32DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “1Let noH408 man’sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 on accountH5921 of him; 2your servantH5650 will goH1980 and fightH3898 with thisH2088 PhilistineH6430.” 33Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “3You are not ableH3201 to goH1980 againstH413 thisH2088 PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 with him; for you are but a youthH5271 while he has been a warriorH4421 from his youthH5271.” 34But DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “Your servantH5650 was tendingH7462 his father’sH1 sheepH6629. When a lionH738 or a bearH1677 cameH935 and tookH5375 a lambH7716 from the flockH5739, 35I wentH3318 out afterH310 him and 4attackedH5221 him, and 5rescuedH5337 it from his mouthH6310; and when he roseH6965 up againstH5921 me, I seizedH2388 him by his beardH2206 and 6struckH5221 him and killedH4191 him. 36Your servantH5650 has 7killedH5221 bothH1571 the lionH738 and the bearH1677; and thisH2088 uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 will be like oneH259 of them, sinceH3588 he has tauntedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.” 37And DavidH1732 saidH559, “8The LordH3068 whoH834 deliveredH5337 me from the pawH3027 of the lionH738 and from the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, He will deliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of thisH2088 PhilistineH6430.” And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “9GoH1980, and may the LordH3068 be with you.” 38Then SaulH7586 clothedH3847 DavidH1732 with his garmentsH4055 and putH5414 a bronzeH5178 helmetH6959 on his headH7218, and he clothedH3847 him with armorH8302. 39DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 overH4480H5921 his armorH4055 and triedH2974 to walkH1980, for he had not testedH5254 them. So DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “I cannotH3201H3808 goH1980 with theseH428, for I have not testedH5254 them.” And DavidH1732 tookH5493 them 10offH4480H5921. 40He tookH3947 his stickH4731 in his handH3027 and choseH977 for himself fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 from the brookH5158, and putH7760 them in the shepherd’sH7462 bagH3627 whichH834 he had, even in his pouchH3219, and 11his slingH7050 was in his handH3027; and he approachedH5066 the PhilistineH6430.

41Then the PhilistineH6430 cameH1980 on and approachedH7126 DavidH1732, with the shield-bearerH6793H5375 in frontH6440 of him. 42When the PhilistineH6430 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, 12he disdainedH959 him; for he was but a youthH5288, and 13ruddyH132, with a handsomeH3303 appearanceH4758. 43The PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “14Am I a dogH3611, that you comeH935 to me with sticksH4731?” And 15the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430. 44The PhilistineH6430 also saidH559 to DavidH1732, “ComeH1980 to me, and I will giveH5414 your fleshH1320 16to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704.” 45Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to the PhilistineH6430, “You comeH935 to me with a swordH2719, a spearH2595, and a javelinH3591, 17but I comeH935 to you in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whomH834 you have tauntedH2778. 46ThisH2088 dayH3117 the LordH3068 will deliverH5462 you up into my handsH3027, and I will strikeH5221 you downH5221 and removeH5493 your headH7218 from you. And I will giveH5414 the 18deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 thisH2088 dayH3117 to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the wildH2421 beastsH2421 of the earthH776, 19that allH3605 the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thereH3426 is a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, 47and that allH3605 thisH2088 assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that 20the LordH3068 does not deliverH3467 by swordH2719 or by spearH2595; 21for the battleH4421 is the Lord’sH3068 and He will giveH5414 you into our handsH3027.”

48Then it happenedH1961 whenH3588 the PhilistineH6430 roseH6965 and cameH1980 and drewH7126 nearH7126 to meetH7122 DavidH1732, that 22DavidH1732 ranH7323 quicklyH4116 toward the battleH4634 lineH4634 to meetH7122 the PhilistineH6430. 49And DavidH1732 putH7971 his handH3027 into his bagH3627 and tookH3947 from it a stoneH68 and slungH7049 it, and struckH5221 the PhilistineH6430 on his foreheadH4696. And the stoneH68 sankH2883 into his foreheadH4696, so that he fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the groundH776.

50Thus DavidH1732 prevailedH2388 overH4480 the PhilistineH6430 with a slingH7050 and a stoneH68, and he struckH5221 the PhilistineH6430 and killedH4191 him; but thereH369 was noH369 swordH2719 in David’sH1732 handH3027.
