43So the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “1Am I a dogH3611, that you comeH935 to me with sticksH4731?” And 2the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430. 44The PhilistineH6430 also saidH559 to DavidH1732, “ComeH1980 to me, and I will giveH5414 your fleshH1320 3to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the 4wildH7704 animalsH929.” 45But DavidH1732 saidH559 to the PhilistineH6430, “You comeH935 to me with a swordH2719, a spearH2595, and a 5saberH3591, 6but 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 7deadH6297 bodiesH6297 of the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 thisH2088 dayH3117 to the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 and the wildH2421 animalsH2421 of the earthH776, 8so that allH3605 the earthH776 may knowH3045 that thereH3426 isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, 47and that thisH2088 entireH3605 assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that 9the LordH3068 does not saveH3467 by swordH2719 or by spearH2595; 10for the battleH4421 is the Lord’sH3068, and He will handH5414H3027 you overH5414 to us!”
