1 Samuel 17:32-40

32And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, LetH408 noH408 man’sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 becauseH5921 of him; thy servantH5650 will goH5307 and fightH3898 with this PhilistineH6430.

33And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art notH3808 ableH3201 to go againstH413 this PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 with him: for thou art but a youthH5271, and he a manH376 of warH4421 from his youthH5271.

34And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 kept his father’sH1 sheepH6629; and when there cameH935 a lionH738, or a bearH5375, and tookH5375 a lambH7716 outH413 of the flockH6629,

35I wentH3318 outH3318 afterH310 him, and smoteH5221 him, and deliveredH5337 it outH3318 of his mouthH6310: and when he aroseH6965 againstH5921 meH5921, I caughtH2388 him by his beardH2206, and smoteH5221 him, and slewH5221 him.

36Thy servantH5650 smoteH5221 bothH1571 the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall be as one of them, seeingH3588 he hath defied the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.

37And DavidH1732 saidH559, The LORDH3068 that deliveredH5337 meH413 outH413 of the pawH3027 of the lionH738, and outH413 of the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337 meH413 outH413 of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, GoH1961, and the LORDH3068 shall be with thee.

38And SaulH7586 clad DavidH1732 with his apparelH3847, and he putH5414 an helmetH6959 of brassH5178 uponH5921 his headH7218, and he clad him with a coat of mail.

39And DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 uponH5921 his apparel, and he assayed to goH5493; for he had notH3808 provedH5254 it. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I cannotH3808 goH5493 with theseH428; for I have notH3808 provedH5254 them. And DavidH1732 putH5493 them offH5921 him.

40And he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977 him fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 outH4480 of the brookH5158, and putH7760 them in the shepherd’s bagH3627 whichH834 he had, evenH853 in his scrip; and his sling was in his handH3027: and he drewH5066 nearH5066 to the PhilistineH6430.
