1 Samuel 17:40-47

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.

41And the PhilistineH6430 cameH1980 on and drewH1980 nearH6440 unto DavidH1732; and the manH376 that bare the shieldH6793 wentH1980 beforeH6440 him.

42And when the PhilistineH6430 lookedH7200 aboutH1961, and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdainedH959 him: for he was but a youthH5288, and ruddyH132, and withal of a fairH3303 countenance.

43And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comest to meH413 with staves? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430.

44And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Come to meH413, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 unto the fowls of the air, and to the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704.

45Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comest to meH413 with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a javelinH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH6635 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 thou hast defied.

46This dayH3117 will the LORDH3068 deliverH5414 thee intoH5921 mine handH3027; and I will smiteH5221 thee, and takeH5493 thine headH7218 from offH5921 thee; and I will giveH5414 the carcases of the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 unto the fowls of the air, and to the wildH776 beastsH2416 of the earthH776; that allH3605 the earthH776 may knowH3045 that there is a GodH430 in IsraelH3478:

47and that allH3605 this assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 saveth notH3808 with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is the LORD’SH3068, and he will giveH5414 youH3588 intoH3027 our handH3027.
