1 Samuel 17:32-50

32And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “1May noH408 one’sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 onH5921 accountH5921 ofH5921 him; 2your servantH5650 will goH1980 and fightH3898 thisH2088 PhilistineH6430!” 33But SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “3You areH3201 not ableH3201 to goH1980 againstH413 thisH2088 PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 him; for you are only a youthH5271, while he has been a warriorH4421 sinceH4480 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 sheepH7716 from the flockH5739, 35I wentH3318 outH3318 afterH310 it and 4attackedH5221 it, and 5rescuedH5337 the sheep from its mouthH6310; and when it roseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 me, I grabbedH2388 it by its maneH2206 and struckH5221 it and killedH4191 it. 36Your servantH5650 has 6killedH5221 bothH1571 the lionH738 and the bearH1677; and thisH2088 uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 will be like oneH259 of them, sinceH3588 he has defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.” 37And DavidH1732 saidH559, “7The LordH3068 whoH834 savedH5337 me from the pawH3027 of the lionH738 and the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, He will saveH5337 me from the handH3027 of thisH2088 PhilistineH6430.” So SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “8GoH1980, and may the LordH3068 be with you.” 38Then SaulH7586 clothedH3847 DavidH1732 with his militaryH4055 attireH4055 and putH5414 a bronzeH5178 helmetH6959 on his headH7218, and outfittedH3847 him with armorH8302. 39And DavidH1732 strappedH2296 onH2296 his swordH2719 overH4480H5921 his militaryH4055 attireH4055 and struggledH2974 at walkingH1980, for he had not trainedH5254 with the armor. So DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, “I cannotH3201H3808 goH1980 with theseH428, becauseH3588 I have not trainedH5254 with them.” And DavidH1732 tookH5493 them 9offH4480H5921. 40Then he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027 and choseH977 for himself fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 from the brookH5158, and putH7760 them in the shepherd’sH7462 bagH3627 whichH834 he had, that is, in his shepherd’sH3219 pouchH3219, and 10his slingH7050 was in his handH3027; and he approachedH5066 the PhilistineH6430.

41Then the PhilistineH6430 cameH1980 and approachedH7126 DavidH1732, with the shield-bearerH6793H5375 in frontH6440 of him. 42When the PhilistineH6430 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, 11he wasH959 contemptuousH959 of him; for he was only a youthH5288, and 1213reddishH132, with a handsomeH3303 appearanceH4758. 43So the 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 17wildH7704 animalsH929.” 45But DavidH1732 saidH559 to the PhilistineH6430, “You comeH935 to me with a swordH2719, a spearH2595, and a 18saberH3591, 19but I comeH935 to you in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whomH834 you have defiedH2778. 46ThisH2088 dayH3117 the LordH3068 will handH5462H3027 you overH5462 to me, and I will strikeH5221 you and removeH5493 your headH7218 from you. Then I will giveH5414 the 20deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 thisH2088 dayH3117 to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the wildH2421 animalsH2421 of the earthH776, 21so that allH3605 the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thereH3426 isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, 47and that thisH2088 entireH3605 assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that 22the LordH3068 does not saveH3467 by swordH2719 or by spearH2595; 23for the battleH4421 is the Lord’sH3068, and He will handH5414H3027 you overH5414 to us!”

48Then it happenedH1961, whenH3588 the PhilistineH6430 24cameH1980 closerH7126 to meetH7122 DavidH1732, that 25DavidH1732 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 penetratedH2883 his foreheadH4696, and he fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the groundH776.

50So DavidH1732 prevailedH2388 overH4480 the PhilistineH6430 with the slingH7050 and the stoneH68: he struckH5221 the PhilistineH6430 and killedH4191 him, and thereH369 wasH369 noH369 swordH2719 in David’sH1732 handH3027.
