1 Samuel 17:4-23

4And there went outH3318 a championH376H1143 from the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239. 5And he had an helmetH3553 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218, and he was armedH3847 with a coatH8302 of mailH7193; and the weightH4948 of the coatH8302 was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of brassH5178.1 6And he had greavesH4697 of brassH5178 upon his legsH7272, and a gorgetH3591 of brassH5178 between his shouldersH3802.2 7And the staffH6086H2671 of his spearH2595 was like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500; and his spear’sH2595 headH3852 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270: and one bearingH5375 a shieldH6793 wentH1980 beforeH6440 him. 8And he stoodH5975 and criedH7121 to the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 to them, Why have ye come outH3318 to set your battleH4421 in arrayH6186? am not I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? chooseH1262 for yourselves a manH376 for you, and let him come downH3381 to me. 9If he shall be ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me, and to killH5221 me, then will we be your servantsH5650: but if I shall prevailH3201 against him, and killH5221 him, then shall ye be our servantsH5650, and serveH5647 us. 10And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376, that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162. 11When SaulH7586 and all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 those wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865, and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.

12Now DavidH1732was the sonH1121 of that EphrathiteH376H673 of BethlehemjudahH1035H3063, whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448; and he had eightH8083 sonsH1121: and the manH376 wentH935 among menH582 for an old manH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586. 13And the threeH7969 eldestH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 wentH3212 and followedH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421: and the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 that wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and nextH4932 to him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048. 14And DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996: and the threeH7969 eldestH1419 followedH1980H310 SaulH7586. 15But DavidH1732 wentH1980 and returnedH7725 from SaulH7586 to feedH7462 his father’sH1 sheepH6629 at BethlehemH1035. 16And the PhilistineH6430 drew nearH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150, and presentedH3320 himself fortyH705 daysH3117. 17And JesseH3448 saidH559 to DavidH1732 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 now for thy brethrenH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 roastedH7039 grain, and these tenH6235 loavesH3899, and runH7323 to the campH4264 to thy brethrenH251; 18And carryH935 these tenH6235 cheesesH2461H2757 to the captainH8269 of their thousandH505, and seeH6485 how thy brethrenH251 fareH7965, and takeH3947 their pledgeH6161.34 19Now SaulH7586, and they, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, were in the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, fightingH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430. 20And DavidH1732 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and leftH5203 the sheepH6629 with a keeperH8104, and tookH5375, and wentH3212, as JesseH3448 had commandedH6680 him; and he cameH935 to the trenchH4570, as the hostH2428 was going forthH3318 to the fightH4634, and shoutedH7321 for the battleH4421.56 21For IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 had put the battle in arrayH6186, armyH4634 againstH7125 armyH4634. 22And DavidH1732 leftH5203 his baggageH3627 in the handH3027 of the keeperH8104 of the baggageH3627, and ranH7323 into the armyH4634, and cameH935 and greetedH7592H7965 his brethrenH251.78 23And as he talkedH1696 with them, behold, there came upH5927 the championH376H1143, the PhilistineH6430 of GathH1661, GoliathH1555 by nameH8034, from the armiesH4634H4630 of the PhilistinesH6430, and spokeH1696 according to the sameH428 wordsH1697: and DavidH1732 heardH8085 them .
