1 Samuel 17:40-47
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 1his 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, 2he wasH959 contemptuousH959 of him; for he was only a youthH5288, and 34reddishH132, with a handsomeH3303 appearanceH4758. 43So the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “5Am I a dogH3611, that you comeH935 to me with sticksH4731?” And 6the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430. 44The PhilistineH6430 also saidH559 to DavidH1732, “ComeH1980 to me, and I will giveH5414 your fleshH1320 7to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the 8wildH7704 animalsH929.” 45But DavidH1732 saidH559 to the PhilistineH6430, “You comeH935 to me with a swordH2719, a spearH2595, and a 9saberH3591, 10but 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 11deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 thisH2088 dayH3117 to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the wildH2421 animalsH2421 of the earthH776, 12so that allH3605 the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thereH3426 isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, 47and that thisH2088 entireH3605 assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that 13the LordH3068 does not saveH3467 by swordH2719 or by spearH2595; 14for the battleH4421 is the Lord’sH3068, and He will handH5414H3027 you overH5414 to us!”
