1 Samuel 17:40-47

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 PhilistineH6430.12

41And the PhilistineH6430 cameH3212 onH1980 and drew nearH7131 unto DavidH1732; and the manH376 that bareH5375 the shieldH6793 went beforeH6440 him.

42And when the PhilistineH6430 looked aboutH5027, and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdainedH959 him: for he was but a youthH5288, and ruddyH132, and of a fairH3303 countenanceH4758.

43And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comestH935 to me with stavesH4731? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430.

44And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, ComeH3212 to me, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704.

45Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comestH935 to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a shieldH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778.

46This dayH3117 will YhwhH3068 deliverH5462 thee into mine handH3027; and I will smiteH5221 thee, and takeH5493 thine headH7218 from thee; and I will giveH5414 the carcasesH6297 of the armyH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the wild beastsH2416 of the earthH776; that all the earthH776 may knowH3045 that there isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478.3

47And all this assemblyH6951 shall knowH3045 that YhwhH3068 savethH3467 not with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is Yhwh'sH3068, and he will giveH5414 you into our handsH3027.
