1 Samuel 17:12-30

12Now DavidH1732 was 1the sonH1121 of 2the 3EphrathiteH673 of BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063, the man whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448, and 4he had eightH8083 sonsH1121. And 5Jesse wasH2204 oldH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586, advancedH935 in years among menH376. 13The threeH7969 olderH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 had 6followedH1980H310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421. And 7the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 whoH834 had goneH1980 into the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and secondH4932 to him, AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992, ShammahH8048. 14So 8DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996. Now the threeH7969 oldestH1419 followedH1980H310 SaulH7586, 159but DavidH1732 wentH1980 backH7725 and forthH1980 from SaulH7586 10to tendH7462 his father’sH1 flockH6629 at BethlehemH1035. 16And the PhilistineH6430 cameH5066 forwardH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150, and tookH3320 his standH3320 for fortyH705 daysH3117.

17Then JesseH3448 saidH559 to his sonH1121 DavidH1732, “11TakeH3947 nowH4994 for your brothersH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 roastedH7039 grainH7039 and theseH2088 tenH6235 loavesH3899, and runH7323 to the campH4264 to your brothersH251. 1812BringH935 also theseH428 tenH6235 slicesH2757 of cheeseH2461 to the commanderH8269 of their thousandH505, 13and lookH6485 into the well-beingH7965 of your brothersH251 and bringH3947 back 14confirmationH6161 from them. 19For SaulH7586 and they and allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 are in the ValleyH6010 of ElahH424, fightingH3898 the PhilistinesH6430.”

20So DavidH1732 gotH7925 upH7925 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 15entrenchmentH4570 encirclingH4570 the campH4570 while the armyH2428 was goingH3318 outH3318 in battleH4634 formationH4634, shoutingH7321 theH7321 warH4421 cryH7321. 21IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 drewH6186 upH6186 inH6186 battleH6186 formationH6186, armyH4634 againstH7122 armyH4634. 22Then DavidH1732 leftH5203 the 16baggageH3627 in the 17careH3027 of the baggageH3627 keeperH8104 and ranH7323 to the battleH4634 lineH4634. And he enteredH935 and 18greetedH7592H7965 his brothersH251. 23As he was speakingH1696 with them, beholdH2009, the championH376H996, the PhilistineH6430 from GathH1661 namedH8034 GoliathH1555, was comingH5927 upH5927 from the armyH4634 of the PhilistinesH6430, and he spokeH1696 19theseH428 same wordsH1697; and DavidH1732 heardH8085 him.

24When allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 the manH376, they fledH5127 from him and wereH3372 veryH3966 fearfulH3372. 25And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, “Have you seenH7200 thisH2088 manH376 who is comingH5927 upH5927? SurelyH3588 he is comingH5927 upH5927 to defyH2778 IsraelH3478. And it will be that the kingH4428 will makeH6238 the manH376 whoH834 killsH5221 him wealthyH6238 with greatH1419 richesH6239, and 20will giveH5414 him his daughterH1323 and makeH6213 his father’sH1 houseH1004 21freeH2670 in IsraelH3478.”

26Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to the menH376 who were standingH5975 by him, “WhatH4100 will be doneH6213 for the manH376 whoH834 killsH5221 thisH1975 PhilistineH6430 and ridsH5493 IsraelH3478 of 22the disgraceH2781? For whoH4310 is thisH2088 23uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he has dared to 24defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of 25the livingH2416 GodH430?” 27The peopleH5971 26answeredH559 him in agreement with thisH2088 statementH1697, sayingH559, “27ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 will be doneH6213 for the manH376 whoH834 killsH5221 him.”

28Now EliabH446 his oldestH1419 brotherH251 heardH8085 him when he spokeH1696 to the menH376; and 28Eliab’sH446 angerH639 burnedH2734 against DavidH1732 and he saidH559, “WhyH4100 is it that you have comeH3381 downH3381? And with whomH4310 have you leftH5203 thoseH2007 fewH4592 sheepH6629 in the wildernessH4057? I myselfH589 knowH3045 your insolenceH2087 and the wickednessH7455 of your heartH3824; for you have comeH3381 downH3381 inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 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 repliedH7725 with the same wordsH1697 as 32beforeH7223.
