撒母耳記上

第17章

1 非利士人集其軍旅、欲往戰鬬、至猶大之說哥、在說哥亞西加間、有地名以弗大閔、建營於彼、

2 掃羅與以色列族集於以拉谷、建置營壘、陳列行伍、攻擊非利士人。

3 非利士人立於山岡、以色列族亦立於山岡、彼此相對、其間有谷。

4 有挑戰者、迦特人、名坷利亞、自非利士人營出、體長六尺有三。

5 首冠銅冑、身衣銅甲、重二千五百兩、

6 股著銅褌、肩負銅戟、

7 厥槍之柯、大如織器之梁、槍之鋒刃、重約三百兩、持干者行於前。

8 彼立而呼、謂以色列軍曰、爾出陳列行伍、將欲何爲、我屬非利士人、爾曹皆掃羅臣僕、汝簡一人、與我相迎。

9 如彼能攻我殺我、我儕願爲爾役、如我勝彼殺彼、爾曹當爲我役、而服事我。

10 又曰、以色列全軍、今日爲我所侮、可使一人出、與我戰鬬。

11 掃羅與以色列族、咸聞其言、驚懼特甚。

12 夫大闢屬猶大支派、伯利恆之以法大人、耶西之子、耶西生八子、掃羅之時耶西年邁。

13 其長子以利押次亞庇拿撻、三沙馬、俱從掃羅以戰。

14 大闢乃季子也、其兄三人、俱從掃羅、

15 則離掃羅側、歸伯利恆、牧父之羊。

16 非利士人、歷四十日、無間朝夕、必至軍前。

17 耶西語大闢曰、爾攜烘穀六斗、與餅十、趨至營壘、往見乃兄、

18 又攜乳餅十、以饋千夫長、問爾兄安、取其質而歸。

19 掃羅及以色列族衆、在以拉谷、與非利士人戰、

20 大闢夙興、以羊付牧者、遵父命而行、至列車之所、見軍旅盡出、鼓譟以戰。

21 以色列族與非利士人、陳列行伍、兩軍相對。

22 大闢以所攜之物、付於守者手、趨入行伍、問其兄安。

23 談言之時、非利士人挑戰者、迦特人坷利亞、自其行伍出、出語如前言、爲大闢所聞。

24 以色列族見之、咸懼而遁、

25 相語曰、汝見斯人乎、彼至侮以色列族、如有能殺之者、王將賜以厚財、以女妻之、蠲其全家應納之稅。

26 或立於傍、大闢問之曰、能殺此非利士人、洒恥於以色列族者、將何所得。非利士人未受割禮、安敢侮永生上帝之軍乎。

27 民如前言曰、能殺此人者、可得此。

28 長兄以利押聞大闢與衆言、怒曰、爾至此曷故、羊遺於野、爲數無幾、孰牧之乎。爾心驕意頑、我知之矣、汝來特觀戰耳。

29 大闢曰、我何所爲、我豈非奉命而來乎。

30 遂他顧、而語問如故、民答一若前言。

31 有聞大闢言、告於掃羅前、遂召之。

32 大闢謂掃羅曰、勿爲此人喪膽、僕敢前往、與彼非利士人戰。

33 掃羅曰、欲與戰鬬、爾必不能、爾年甚少、彼自幼嫺於武事、

34 大闢曰、昔僕爲父牧羊、有獅與熊至羊羣、攫取羔羊。

35 我追而擊之、援羔於其口、彼欲害我、我執其鬣、擊而殺之。

36 獅與熊尚被僕所殺、此未受割禮之非利士人、旣侮永生上帝之軍、亦必如是。

37 又曰、耶和華旣援我於獅熊、亦必救我於非利士人手。掃羅曰、往哉、願耶和華祐爾。

38 掃羅以其甲冑賜於大闢、遂冠銅冑披鎧甲、

39 懸劍欲行、惟服甲冑、未能諳練、乃謂掃羅曰、我未嘗諳此、不敢遽行。遂卸之。

40 手執杖、簡溪間光潔之石五、盛之於囊、卽牧童所常攜者、執發石之繩、往迎非利士人。

41 非利士人前迎大闢、持干者爲先導。

42 非利士人環視、見大闢年甚少、其容維赤、丰采甚都、則藐視之、

43 謂大闢曰、汝執杖來迎、以我爲犬乎。遂指厥上帝、而咒詛大闢。

44 又謂之曰、汝來、我取爾肉、給於飛鳥走獸。

45 大闢曰、爾侮以色列族上帝之軍旅、爾來迎我、執利劍、用干戈、我來迎爾、恃萬有之主耶和華。

46 今日耶和華以爾付於我手、我將擊爾、斬爾首級、以爾衆之尸骸、給於飛鳥走獸、使天下億兆、咸知以色列族有上帝。

47 亦使斯大會知耶和華救人、非藉劍戟、其使人獲勝者、乃任意以行、將付爾於我手。

48 非利士人進、欲迎大闢、大闢疾趨、欲迎非利士人。

49 探囊取石、以繩發之、擊非利士人、深入顙際、遂仆於地。

50 如是大闢以繩發石、擊非利士人而殺之、手不持刃。

51 向前而趨、踐非利士人之身、拔刃出鞘、斬其首級。非利士衆見英武者死、則潰而奔。

52 以色列族、猶大人、並起、鼓譟追襲敵衆、入谷至於以革倫邑門、非利士人見殺者、尸橫沙勑音道、延至迦特以革倫。

53 以色列族追非利士人、旣畢其事、則旋軍刧幕。

54 大闢取非利士人首級、至耶路撒冷、藏甲於幕。

55 掃羅見大闢出、與非利士人戰、則問軍長押尼耳、曰、此少者誰人之子歟。對曰、我指王生命以誓、我不相識。

56 王曰、汝詢此童果誰之子。

57 大闢殺非利士人而歸、手執首級、押尼耳導之見掃羅。

58 掃羅曰、少者誰氏之子乎。對曰、爾僕伯利恆人、耶西之子、

1 Samuel

Chapter 17

1 NOW the Philistines gathered together their armies for battle, and were massed at the border of Judah, and they encamped between the border and Arka in Epher-samin.

2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight against the Philistines.

3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, and the valley was between them.

4 And there went out a mighty man from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand shekels of brass.

6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a cuirass of mail between his shoulders.

7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shieldbearer went before him.

8 And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, that he may come out against me.

9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.

10 And the Philistine said, I have defied the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

11 When Saul and all Israel heard the words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite of Beth-lehem of Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old and advanced in years in the days of Saul.

13 And the three older sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle; and their names were Eliab the first-born, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

14 And David was the youngest;

15 Now David had returned from Saul, and was gone to tend his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.

16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself for forty days.

17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of parched wheat and ten loaves of bread, and run to the camp to your brothers;

18 And carry these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand and inquire into the welfare of your brothers and bring the news of them to me.

19 Now Saul and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting with the Philistines.

20 And David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with the keeper, and took and went as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the camp in the valley which goes up to the battle array, and the army shouted for the battle.

21 Then Israel and the Philistines put themselves in battle array, army against army.

22 And David put off his provisions by the side of the baggage, and ran into the army ranks, and came and saluted his brothers.

23 And while he was talking with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spoke the same words; and David heard them.

24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the mighty man, were afraid and fled from him.

25 And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely to defy Israel he has come up; and it shall be that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free in Israel.

26 And David said to the men who stood by him, What shall be done for the man who kills this uncircumcised Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?

27 And the people told him the king's promises, saying, So shall it be done to the man who kills him.

28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard him when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said to him, Why have you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your boldness and the evil of your heart; for you have come down to see the battle.

29 And David said, What have I done now? Behold, I was just talking.

30 And he turned from him to the other side, and spoke in the same manner; and the people answered him again as they had done before.

31 And when the words which David spoke were reported to Saul, he sent for him.

32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

33 And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a boy, and he has been a man of war from his youth.

34 And David said to Saul, Your servant was tending his father's sheep, and there came a lion and a bear, and took a lamb from the flock;

35 And I went out after the lion and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and he growled at me, and I caught him by his beard, and I smote him and slew him.

36 Your servant slew both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.

37 David said moreover, The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me out of the hands of the Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the LORD be with you.

38 And Saul armed David with his own armor and put a helmet of brass upon his head; and armed him with a coat of mail.

39 And David girded his sword upon his armor, but he was unwilling to go; for he had not tried them out. So David took them off.

40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones out of the gravel, and put them into his shepherd's bag, even into his wallet, and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.

41 And behold, the Philistine came and drew near to David; and his shieldbearer went before him.

42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.

43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the fowls of the air and to the beasts of the field.

45 Then David said to the Philistine, You come against me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield; but I come against you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hands; and I will slay you and take your head from you; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the air, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will deliver you into our hands.

48 And, behold, when the Philistine came and drew near to meet David, David hastened and ran to the battle line to meet the Philistine.

49 And David put his hand in his bag and took thence a stone, and slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and slew him and cut off his head. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and as far as the valley of Ekron. And the slain of the Philistines fell by the way of Shaarain, even to Gath and to Ekron.

53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and plundered their camps.

54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.

55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of his army, Whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.

56 And the king said, Inquire whose son this young man is.

57 And when David returned after he had slain the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

58 And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, young man? And David said to him, I am the son of your servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.

Chapter 17

1 非利士人集其軍旅、欲往戰鬬、至猶大之說哥、在說哥亞西加間、有地名以弗大閔、建營於彼、

1 NOW the Philistines gathered together their armies for battle, and were massed at the border of Judah, and they encamped between the border and Arka in Epher-samin.

2 掃羅與以色列族集於以拉谷、建置營壘、陳列行伍、攻擊非利士人。

2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight against the Philistines.

3 非利士人立於山岡、以色列族亦立於山岡、彼此相對、其間有谷。

3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, and the valley was between them.

4 有挑戰者、迦特人、名坷利亞、自非利士人營出、體長六尺有三。

4 And there went out a mighty man from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

5 首冠銅冑、身衣銅甲、重二千五百兩、

5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of his coat of mail was five thousand shekels of brass.

6 股著銅褌、肩負銅戟、

6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a cuirass of mail between his shoulders.

7 厥槍之柯、大如織器之梁、槍之鋒刃、重約三百兩、持干者行於前。

7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron; and his shieldbearer went before him.

8 彼立而呼、謂以色列軍曰、爾出陳列行伍、將欲何爲、我屬非利士人、爾曹皆掃羅臣僕、汝簡一人、與我相迎。

8 And he stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, that he may come out against me.

9 如彼能攻我殺我、我儕願爲爾役、如我勝彼殺彼、爾曹當爲我役、而服事我。

9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.

10 又曰、以色列全軍、今日爲我所侮、可使一人出、與我戰鬬。

10 And the Philistine said, I have defied the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

11 掃羅與以色列族、咸聞其言、驚懼特甚。

11 When Saul and all Israel heard the words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

12 夫大闢屬猶大支派、伯利恆之以法大人、耶西之子、耶西生八子、掃羅之時耶西年邁。

12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite of Beth-lehem of Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old and advanced in years in the days of Saul.

13 其長子以利押次亞庇拿撻、三沙馬、俱從掃羅以戰。

13 And the three older sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle; and their names were Eliab the first-born, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

14 大闢乃季子也、其兄三人、俱從掃羅、

14 And David was the youngest;

15 則離掃羅側、歸伯利恆、牧父之羊。

15 Now David had returned from Saul, and was gone to tend his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.

16 非利士人、歷四十日、無間朝夕、必至軍前。

16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself for forty days.

17 耶西語大闢曰、爾攜烘穀六斗、與餅十、趨至營壘、往見乃兄、

17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of parched wheat and ten loaves of bread, and run to the camp to your brothers;

18 又攜乳餅十、以饋千夫長、問爾兄安、取其質而歸。

18 And carry these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand and inquire into the welfare of your brothers and bring the news of them to me.

19 掃羅及以色列族衆、在以拉谷、與非利士人戰、

19 Now Saul and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting with the Philistines.

20 大闢夙興、以羊付牧者、遵父命而行、至列車之所、見軍旅盡出、鼓譟以戰。

20 And David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with the keeper, and took and went as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the camp in the valley which goes up to the battle array, and the army shouted for the battle.

21 以色列族與非利士人、陳列行伍、兩軍相對。

21 Then Israel and the Philistines put themselves in battle array, army against army.

22 大闢以所攜之物、付於守者手、趨入行伍、問其兄安。

22 And David put off his provisions by the side of the baggage, and ran into the army ranks, and came and saluted his brothers.

23 談言之時、非利士人挑戰者、迦特人坷利亞、自其行伍出、出語如前言、爲大闢所聞。

23 And while he was talking with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spoke the same words; and David heard them.

24 以色列族見之、咸懼而遁、

24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the mighty man, were afraid and fled from him.

25 相語曰、汝見斯人乎、彼至侮以色列族、如有能殺之者、王將賜以厚財、以女妻之、蠲其全家應納之稅。

25 And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely to defy Israel he has come up; and it shall be that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free in Israel.

26 或立於傍、大闢問之曰、能殺此非利士人、洒恥於以色列族者、將何所得。非利士人未受割禮、安敢侮永生上帝之軍乎。

26 And David said to the men who stood by him, What shall be done for the man who kills this uncircumcised Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?

27 民如前言曰、能殺此人者、可得此。

27 And the people told him the king's promises, saying, So shall it be done to the man who kills him.

28 長兄以利押聞大闢與衆言、怒曰、爾至此曷故、羊遺於野、爲數無幾、孰牧之乎。爾心驕意頑、我知之矣、汝來特觀戰耳。

28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard him when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said to him, Why have you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your boldness and the evil of your heart; for you have come down to see the battle.

29 大闢曰、我何所爲、我豈非奉命而來乎。

29 And David said, What have I done now? Behold, I was just talking.

30 遂他顧、而語問如故、民答一若前言。

30 And he turned from him to the other side, and spoke in the same manner; and the people answered him again as they had done before.

31 有聞大闢言、告於掃羅前、遂召之。

31 And when the words which David spoke were reported to Saul, he sent for him.

32 大闢謂掃羅曰、勿爲此人喪膽、僕敢前往、與彼非利士人戰。

32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

33 掃羅曰、欲與戰鬬、爾必不能、爾年甚少、彼自幼嫺於武事、

33 And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a boy, and he has been a man of war from his youth.

34 大闢曰、昔僕爲父牧羊、有獅與熊至羊羣、攫取羔羊。

34 And David said to Saul, Your servant was tending his father's sheep, and there came a lion and a bear, and took a lamb from the flock;

35 我追而擊之、援羔於其口、彼欲害我、我執其鬣、擊而殺之。

35 And I went out after the lion and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth; and he growled at me, and I caught him by his beard, and I smote him and slew him.

36 獅與熊尚被僕所殺、此未受割禮之非利士人、旣侮永生上帝之軍、亦必如是。

36 Your servant slew both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.

37 又曰、耶和華旣援我於獅熊、亦必救我於非利士人手。掃羅曰、往哉、願耶和華祐爾。

37 David said moreover, The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me out of the hands of the Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the LORD be with you.

38 掃羅以其甲冑賜於大闢、遂冠銅冑披鎧甲、

38 And Saul armed David with his own armor and put a helmet of brass upon his head; and armed him with a coat of mail.

39 懸劍欲行、惟服甲冑、未能諳練、乃謂掃羅曰、我未嘗諳此、不敢遽行。遂卸之。

39 And David girded his sword upon his armor, but he was unwilling to go; for he had not tried them out. So David took them off.

40 手執杖、簡溪間光潔之石五、盛之於囊、卽牧童所常攜者、執發石之繩、往迎非利士人。

40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones out of the gravel, and put them into his shepherd's bag, even into his wallet, and his sling was in his hand; and he drew near to the Philistine.

41 非利士人前迎大闢、持干者爲先導。

41 And behold, the Philistine came and drew near to David; and his shieldbearer went before him.

42 非利士人環視、見大闢年甚少、其容維赤、丰采甚都、則藐視之、

42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.

43 謂大闢曰、汝執杖來迎、以我爲犬乎。遂指厥上帝、而咒詛大闢。

43 And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

44 又謂之曰、汝來、我取爾肉、給於飛鳥走獸。

44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the fowls of the air and to the beasts of the field.

45 大闢曰、爾侮以色列族上帝之軍旅、爾來迎我、執利劍、用干戈、我來迎爾、恃萬有之主耶和華。

45 Then David said to the Philistine, You come against me with a sword and with a spear and with a shield; but I come against you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

46 今日耶和華以爾付於我手、我將擊爾、斬爾首級、以爾衆之尸骸、給於飛鳥走獸、使天下億兆、咸知以色列族有上帝。

46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hands; and I will slay you and take your head from you; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the air, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

47 亦使斯大會知耶和華救人、非藉劍戟、其使人獲勝者、乃任意以行、將付爾於我手。

47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will deliver you into our hands.

48 非利士人進、欲迎大闢、大闢疾趨、欲迎非利士人。

48 And, behold, when the Philistine came and drew near to meet David, David hastened and ran to the battle line to meet the Philistine.

49 探囊取石、以繩發之、擊非利士人、深入顙際、遂仆於地。

49 And David put his hand in his bag and took thence a stone, and slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

50 如是大闢以繩發石、擊非利士人而殺之、手不持刃。

50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

51 向前而趨、踐非利士人之身、拔刃出鞘、斬其首級。非利士衆見英武者死、則潰而奔。

51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and slew him and cut off his head. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

52 以色列族、猶大人、並起、鼓譟追襲敵衆、入谷至於以革倫邑門、非利士人見殺者、尸橫沙勑音道、延至迦特以革倫。

52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and as far as the valley of Ekron. And the slain of the Philistines fell by the way of Shaarain, even to Gath and to Ekron.

53 以色列族追非利士人、旣畢其事、則旋軍刧幕。

53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and plundered their camps.

54 大闢取非利士人首級、至耶路撒冷、藏甲於幕。

54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.

55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of his army, Whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.

56 王曰、汝詢此童果誰之子。

56 And the king said, Inquire whose son this young man is.

57 大闢殺非利士人而歸、手執首級、押尼耳導之見掃羅。

57 And when David returned after he had slain the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

58 掃羅曰、少者誰氏之子乎。對曰、爾僕伯利恆人、耶西之子、

58 And Saul said to him, Whose son are you, young man? And David said to him, I am the son of your servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
