1 Samuel 17:12-30

12NowH3117 DavidH1732 was the sonH1121 of that EphrathiteH673 of Beth-lehem-judah, whoseH1121 nameH8034 was JesseH3448; and he had eightH8083 sonsH1121: and the manH376 was an oldH1121 manH376 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586, stricken in yearsH3117 among menH376.

13And the threeH7969 eldest sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 had goneH1980 afterH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421: and the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 that wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and nextH4932 unto him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048.

14And DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996: and the threeH7969 eldest followedH310 SaulH7586.

15NowH1980 DavidH1732 wentH1980 to and froH1980 from SaulH7586 to feedH7462 his father’sH1 sheepH6629 at Beth-lehem.

16And the PhilistineH6430 drewH5066 nearH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150, and presentedH3320 himselfH3117 fortyH705 daysH3117.

17And JesseH3448 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 nowH4994 for thy brethrenH251 an ephahH374 of this parchedH7039 corn, and theseH2088 tenH6235 loavesH3899, and carryH3947 them quicklyH7323 to the campH4264 to thy brethrenH251;

18and bringH935 theseH428 tenH6235 cheeses unto the captainH8269 of their thousandH505, and lookH6485 howH7965 thy brethrenH251 fare, and takeH3947 their pledge.

19Now SaulH7586, and they, and allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, were in the vale of ElahH425, fightingH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430.

20And DavidH1732 roseH7925 upH5375 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and leftH3318 the sheepH6629 with a keeperH8104, and tookH5375, and wentH3318, as JesseH3448 had commandedH6680 him; and he cameH935 to the placeH935 of the wagons, as the host whichH834 was goingH3318 forthH3318 to the fightH4421 shoutedH7321 for the battleH4421.

21And IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 put the battleH4634 in arrayH4634, armyH4634 againstH7122 armyH4634.

22And DavidH1732 leftH5203 his baggageH3627 in the handH3027 of the keeperH8104 of the baggageH3627, and ranH7323 to the armyH4634, and cameH935 and saluted his brethrenH251.

23And as he talkedH1696 with them, beholdH2009, there cameH5927 upH5927 the champion, the PhilistineH6430 of GathH1661, GoliathH1555 by nameH8034, outH376 of the ranks of the PhilistinesH6430, and spake accordingH376 to the sameH1931 wordsH1697: and DavidH1732 heardH8085 them.

24And allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, when they sawH7200 the manH376, fledH5127 from him, and were sore afraidH3372.

25And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Have ye seenH7200 this manH376 that is comeH1961 upH5927? surelyH3588 to defyH2778 IsraelH3478 is he comeH1961 upH5927: and it shall be, that the manH376 who killeth him, the kingH4428 will enrichH6238 him with greatH1419 richesH6239, and will giveH5414 him his daughterH1323, and makeH5414 his father’sH1 houseH1004 freeH2670 in IsraelH3478.

26And DavidH1732 spake to the menH376 that stoodH5975 by him, sayingH559, WhatH4100 shall be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killeth this PhilistineH6430, and taketh awayH5493 the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430?

27And the peopleH5971 answeredH559 him after this mannerH1697, sayingH559, SoH6213 shall it be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killeth him.

28And EliabH446 his eldest brotherH251 heardH8085 when he spake unto the menH376; and Eliab’sH446 angerH639 was kindledH2734 againstH5921 DavidH1732, and he saidH559, WhyH4100 art thou comeH3381 downH3381? and with whomH4310 hast thou leftH5203 thoseH376 fewH4592 sheepH6629 in the wildernessH4057? I knowH3045 thy prideH2087, and the naughtiness of thine heartH3824; for thou art comeH3381 downH3381 that thou mightest seeH7200 the battleH4421.

29And DavidH1732 saidH559, WhatH4100 have I nowH6258 doneH6213? Is there notH3808 a causeH1697?

30And he turnedH7725 awayH7725 from him towardH413 anotherH312, and spake afterH413 the sameH2088 mannerH1697: and the peopleH5971 answeredH559 him againH7725 afterH413 the formerH7223 mannerH1697.
