1 Samuel 17:4-23

4Then a championH376H996 cameH3318 out from the armiesH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 namedH8034 1GoliathH1555, from 2GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 3cubitsH520 and a spanH2239. 5He had a bronzeH5178 helmetH3553 on his headH7218, and he was clothedH3847 with scale-armorH7193 4which weighedH4948 fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of bronzeH5178. 6He also had bronzeH5178 5greavesH4697 on his legsH7272 and a 6bronzeH5178 javelinH3591 slung betweenH996 his shouldersH3802. 77The shaftH2671 of his spearH2595 was like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500, and the headH3852 of his spearH2595 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270; 8his shield-carrierH6793H5375 also walkedH1980 beforeH6440 him. 8He stoodH5975 and shoutedH7121 to the ranksH4634 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to them, “WhyH4100 do you comeH3318 out to drawH6186 up in battleH4421 array? Am I not the PhilistineH6430 and you 9servantsH5650 of SaulH7586? ChooseH1262 a manH376 for yourselves and let him comeH3381 downH3381 to me. 910IfH518 he is ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me and 11killH5221 me, then we will becomeH1961 your servantsH5650; but ifH518 I prevailH3201 against him and 12killH5221 him, then you shall becomeH1961 our servantsH5650 and serveH5647 us.” 10Again the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, “13I defyH2778 the ranksH4634 of IsraelH3478 thisH2088 dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376 that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.” 11When SaulH7586 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865 and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.

12Now DavidH1732 was 14the sonH1121 of 15the 16EphrathiteH673 of BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063, whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448, and 17he had eightH8083 sonsH1121. And 18Jesse was oldH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586, advancedH935 in years among menH376. 13The threeH7969 olderH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 had 19goneH1980 afterH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421. And 20the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 whoH834 wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and the secondH4932 to him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048. 1421DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996. Now the threeH7969 oldestH1419 followedH1980H310 SaulH7586, 1522but DavidH1732 wentH1980H7725 backH7725 and forth from SaulH7586 23to tendH7462 his father’sH1 flockH6629 at BethlehemH1035. 16The PhilistineH6430 cameH5066 24forwardH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150 for fortyH705 daysH3117 and tookH3320 his standH3320.

17Then JesseH3448 saidH559 to DavidH1732 his sonH1121, “25TakeH3947 nowH4994 for your brothersH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 roastedH7039 grainH7039 and theseH2088 tenH6235 loavesH3899 and runH7323 to the campH4264 to your brothersH251. 1826BringH935 also theseH428 tenH6235 cutsH2757 of cheeseH2461 to the commanderH8269 of their thousandH505, 27and lookH6485 into the welfareH7965 of your brothersH251, and bringH3947 back 28newsH6161 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 29circleH4570 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 30baggageH3627 in the 31careH3027 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 32theseH428 sameH428 wordsH1697; and DavidH1732 heardH8085 them.
