1 Samuel 17:4-23

4Then a championH376H996 cameH3318 forwardH3318 from the armyH4264 encampmentH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 1GoliathH1555, from 2GathH1661. His heightH1363 was 3sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a 4spanH2239. 5And he had a bronzeH5178 helmetH3553 on his headH7218, and he woreH3847 scale-armorH7193 5which weighedH4948 6fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of bronzeH5178. 6He also had bronzeH5178 7greavesH4697 on his legsH7272 and a 8bronzeH5178 9saberH3591 slung betweenH996 his shouldersH3802. 710The shaftH2671 of his spearH2595 was like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500, and the headH3852 of his spearH2595 weighed 11sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270; and 12his shield-carrierH6793H5375 walkedH1980 in frontH6440 of him. 8He stoodH5975 and shoutedH7121 to the ranksH4634 of IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to them, “WhyH4100 do you comeH3318 outH3318 to drawH6186 upH6186 in battleH4421 formationH4421? Am I not the PhilistineH6430, and you the 13servantsH5650 of SaulH7586? ChooseH1262 a manH376 asH1262 your representativeH1262 and have him comeH3381 downH3381 to me. 914IfH518 he isH3201 ableH3201 to fightH3898 me and 15killH5221 me, then we will becomeH1961 your servantsH5650; but ifH518 I prevailH3201 against him and 16killH5221 him, then you shall becomeH1961 our servantsH5650 and serveH5647 us.” 10Then the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, “17I have defiedH2778 the ranksH4634 of IsraelH3478 thisH2088 dayH3117! GiveH5414 me a manH376, so that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.” 11When SaulH7586 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865 and veryH3966 fearfulH3372.

12Now DavidH1732 was 18the sonH1121 of 19the 20EphrathiteH673 of BethlehemH1035 in JudahH3063, the man whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448, and 21he had eightH8083 sonsH1121. And 22Jesse wasH2204 oldH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586, advancedH935 in years among menH376. 13The threeH7969 olderH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 had 23followedH1980H310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421. And 24the 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 25DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996. Now the threeH7969 oldestH1419 followedH1980H310 SaulH7586, 1526but DavidH1732 wentH1980 backH7725 and forthH1980 from SaulH7586 27to 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, “28TakeH3947 nowH4994 for your brothersH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 roastedH7039 grainH7039 and theseH2088 tenH6235 loavesH3899, and runH7323 to the campH4264 to your brothersH251. 1829BringH935 also theseH428 tenH6235 slicesH2757 of cheeseH2461 to the commanderH8269 of their thousandH505, 30and lookH6485 into the well-beingH7965 of your brothersH251 and bringH3947 back 31confirmationH6161 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 32entrenchmentH4570 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 33baggageH3627 in the 34careH3027 of the baggageH3627 keeperH8104 and ranH7323 to the battleH4634 lineH4634. And he enteredH935 and 35greetedH7592H7965 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 36theseH428 same wordsH1697; and DavidH1732 heardH8085 him.
