1 Samuel 17:42-49
42When the PhilistineH6430 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, 1he disdainedH959 him; for he was but a youthH5288, and 2ruddyH132, with a handsomeH3303 appearanceH4758. 43The PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “3Am I a dogH3611, that you comeH935 to me with sticksH4731?” And 4the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430. 44The PhilistineH6430 also saidH559 to DavidH1732, “ComeH1980 to me, and I will giveH5414 your fleshH1320 5to 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, 6but 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 7deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 thisH2088 dayH3117 to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the wildH2421 beastsH2421 of the earthH776, 8that allH3605 the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thereH3426 is a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, 47and that allH3605 thisH2088 assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that 9the LordH3068 does not deliverH3467 by swordH2719 or by spearH2595; 10for 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 11DavidH1732 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.
