1 Samuel 17:40-47

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 1his 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, 2he disdainedH959 him; for he was but a youthH5288, and 3ruddyH132, with a handsomeH3303 appearanceH4758. 43The PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “4Am I a dogH3611, that you comeH935 to me with sticksH4731?” And 5the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430. 44The PhilistineH6430 also saidH559 to DavidH1732, “ComeH1980 to me, and I will giveH5414 your fleshH1320 6to 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, 7but 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 8deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 thisH2088 dayH3117 to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the wildH2421 beastsH2421 of the earthH776, 9that allH3605 the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thereH3426 is a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, 47and that allH3605 thisH2088 assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that 10the LordH3068 does not deliverH3467 by swordH2719 or by spearH2595; 11for the battleH4421 is the Lord’sH3068 and He will giveH5414 you into our handsH3027.”
