1 Samuel 17:32-40
32And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Let no man’sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 because of him; thy servantH5650 will goH3212 and fightH3898 with this PhilistineH6430. 33And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art not ableH3201 to goH3212 against this PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 with him: for thou art but a youthH5288, and he a manH376 of warH4421 from his youthH5271. 34And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 keptH7462 his father’sH1 sheepH6629, and there cameH935 a lionH738, and a bearH1677, and tookH5375 a lambH2089H7716 out of the flockH5739:1 35And I went outH3318 afterH310 him, and smoteH5221 him, and deliveredH5337 it out of his mouthH6310: and when he aroseH6965 against me, I caughtH2388 him by his beardH2206, and smoteH5221 him, and slewH4191 him. 36Thy servantH5650 slewH5221 both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall be as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430. 37DavidH1732 saidH559 moreover, YhwhH3068 that deliveredH5337 me out of the pawH3027 of the lionH738, and out of the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337 me out of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, GoH3212, And YhwhH3068 be with thee.
38And SaulH7586 armedH3847 DavidH1732 with his armourH4055, and he putH5414 an helmetH6959 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218; also he armedH3847 him with a coat of mailH8302.2 39And DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 upon his armourH4055, and he assayedH2974 to goH3212; for he had not provedH5254 it. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I cannotH3201 goH3212 with these; for I have not provedH5254 them. And DavidH1732 putH5493 them off him. 40And he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977 him fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 out of the brookH5158, and putH7760 them in a shepherd’sH7462 bagH3627 which he had, even in a scripH3219; and his slingH7050 was in his handH3027: and he drew nearH5066 to the PhilistineH6430.34
