1 Samuel 17:34-58
34And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 keptH7462 his father’sH1 sheepH6629, and there cameH935 a lionH738, and a bearH1677, and tookH5375 a lambH7716H2089 out of the flockH5739:1 35And I wentH3318 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, The LORDH3068 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 to DavidH1732, GoH3212, and the LORDH3068 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 triedH2974 to goH3212; for he had not provedH5254 it . And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, I cannotH3201 goH3212 with these; for I have not provedH5254 them . And DavidH1732 putH5493 them off from him.
40And he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977 for himself fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 out of the brookH5158, and putH7760 them in a shepherd’sH7462 bagH3627 which he had, even in a bagH3219; and his slingH7050 was in his handH3027: and he drew nearH5066 to the PhilistineH6430.34 41And the PhilistineH6430 advancedH3212H1980 and drew nearH7131 to DavidH1732; and the manH376 that boreH5375 the shieldH6793 went beforeH6440 him. 42And when the PhilistineH6430 looked aboutH5027, and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdainedH959 him: for he was a youthH5288, and ruddyH132, and of a fairH3303 countenanceH4758. 43And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comestH935 to me with staffsH4731? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430. 44And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, ComeH3212 to me, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 to 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 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778. 46This dayH3117 will the LORDH3068 deliverH5462 thee into my handH3027; and I will smiteH5221 thee, and takeH5493 thy headH7218 from thee; and I will giveH5414 the dead bodiesH6297 of the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 to 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 IsraelH3478.5 47And all this assemblyH6951 shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 savethH3467 not with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is the LORD’SH3068, and he will giveH5414 you into our handsH3027.
48And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and cameH3212 and drew nearH7126 to meetH7125 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hastedH4116, and ranH7323 toward the armyH4634 to meetH7125 the PhilistineH6430. 49And DavidH1732 putH7971 his handH3027 in his bagH3627, and tookH3947 from there a stoneH68, and slungH7049 it with his sling, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696, that the stoneH68 sunkH2883 into his foreheadH4696; and he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776. 50So DavidH1732 prevailedH2388 overH4480 the PhilistineH6430 with a slingH7050 and with a stoneH68, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and slewH4191 him; but there was no swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732. 51Therefore DavidH1732 ranH7323, and stoodH5975 upon the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947 his swordH2719, and drewH8025 it out of its sheathH8593, and slewH4191 him, and cut offH3772 his headH7218 with it. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 their championH1368 was deadH4191, they fledH5127. 52And the menH582 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965, and shoutedH7321, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, to the entranceH935 of the valleyH1516, and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fell downH5307 by the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, even to GathH1661, and to EkronH6138. 53And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 from chasingH1814H310 the PhilistinesH6430, and they plunderedH8155 their tentsH4264. 54And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430, and broughtH935 it to JerusalemH3389; but he putH7760 his armourH3627 in his tentH168. 55And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 DavidH1732 go forthH3318 againstH7125 the PhilistineH6430, he saidH559 to AbnerH74, the captainH8269 of the hostH6635, AbnerH74, whose sonH1121 is this youthH5288? And AbnerH74 saidH559, As thy soulH5315 livethH2416, O kingH4428, I cannotH518 tellH3045. 56And the kingH4428 saidH559, EnquireH7592 thou whose sonH1121 the striplingH5958 is . 57And as DavidH1732 returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, AbnerH74 tookH3947 him, and broughtH935 him beforeH6440 SaulH7586 with the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430 in his handH3027. 58And SaulH7586 saidH559 to him, Whose sonH1121 art thou, thou young manH5288? And DavidH1732 answeredH559, I am the sonH1121 of thy servantH5650 JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022.
