1 Samuel

Chapter 17

1 Now the Philistines6430 gathered together622 853 their armies4264 to battle,4421 and were gathered together622 at Shochoh,7755 which834 belongeth to Judah,3063 and pitched2583 between996 Shochoh7755 and Azekah,5825 in Ephes-dammim.658

2 And Saul7586 and the men376 of Israel3478 were gathered together,622 and pitched2583 by the valley6010 of Elah,425 and set the battle4421 in array6186 against7125 the Philistines.6430

3 And the Philistines6430 stood5975 on413 a mountain2022 on the one side,4480 2088 and Israel3478 stood5975 on413 a mountain2022 on the other side:4480 2088 and there was a valley1516 between996 them.

4 And there went out3318 a champion376 1143 out of the camp4480 4264 of the Philistines,6430 named8034 Goliath,1555 of Gath,4480 1661 whose height1363 was six8337 cubits520 and a span.2239

5 And he had a helmet3553 of brass5178 upon5921 his head,7218 and he1931 was armed3847 with a coat8302 of mail;7193 and the weight4948 of the coat8302 was five2568 thousand505 shekels8255 of brass.5178

6 And he had greaves4697 of brass5178 upon5921 his legs,7272 and a target3591 of brass5178 between996 his shoulders.3802

7 And the staff2671 of his spear2595 was like a weaver's707 beam;4500 and his spear's2595 head3852 weighed six8337 hundred3967 shekels8255 of iron:1270 and one bearing5375 a shield6793 went1980 before6440 him.

8 And he stood5975 and cried7121 unto413 the armies4634 of Israel,3478 and said559 unto them, Why4100 are ye come out3318 to set your battle4421 in array?6186 am not3808 I595 a Philistine,6430 and ye859 servants5650 to Saul?7586 choose1262 you a man376 for you, and let him come down3381 to413 me.

9 If518 he be able3201 to fight3898 with854 me, and to kill5221 me, then will we be1961 your servants:5650 but if518 I589 prevail3201 against him, and kill5221 him, then shall ye be1961 our servants,5650 and serve5647 us.

10 And the Philistine6430 said,559 I589 defy2778 853 the armies4634 of Israel3478 this2088 day;3117 give5414 me a man,376 that we may fight3898 together.3162

11 When Saul7586 and all3605 Israel3478 heard8085 853 those428 words1697 of the Philistine,6430 they were dismayed,2865 and greatly3966 afraid.3372

12 Now David1732 was the son1121 of that2088 Ephrathite376 673 of Bethlehem-judah,4480 1035 whose name8034 was Jesse;3448 and he had eight8083 sons:1121 and the man376 went935 among men376 for an old2204 man in the days3117 of Saul.7586

13 And the three7969 eldest1419 sons1121 of Jesse3448 went1980 and followed1980 310 Saul7586 to the battle:4421 and the names8034 of his three7969 sons1121 that834 went1980 to the battle4421 were Eliab446 the firstborn,1060 and next4932 unto him Abinadab,41 and the third7992 Shammah.8048

14 And David1732 was the youngest:6996 and the three7969 eldest1419 followed1980 310 Saul.7586

15 But David1732 went1980 and returned7725 from4480 5921 Saul7586 to feed7462 853 his father's1 sheep6629 at Bethlehem.1035

16 And the Philistine6430 drew near5066 morning7925 and evening,6150 and presented himself3320 forty705 days.3117

17 And Jesse3448 said559 unto David1732 his son,1121 Take3947 now4994 for thy brethren251 an ephah374 of this2088 parched7039 corn, and these2088 ten6235 loaves,3899 and run7323 to the camp4264 to thy brethren;251

18 And carry935 these428 ten6235 cheeses2757 2461 unto the captain8269 of their thousand,505 and look how6485 thy brethren251 fare,7965 and take3947 their pledge.6161

19 Now Saul,7586 and they,1992 and all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478 were in the valley6010 of Elah,425 fighting3898 with5973 the Philistines.6430

20 And David1732 rose up early7925 in the morning,1242 and left5203 853 the sheep6629 with5921 a keeper,8104 and took,5375 and went,1980 as834 Jesse3448 had commanded6680 him; and he came935 to the trench,4570 as the host2428 was going forth3318 to413 the fight,4634 and shouted7321 for the battle.4421

21 For Israel3478 and the Philistines6430 had put the battle in array,6186 army4634 against7125 army.4634

22 And David1732 left5203 853 his carriage3627 in5921 the hand3027 of the keeper8104 of the carriage,3627 and ran7323 into the army,4634 and came935 and saluted7592 7965 his brethren.251

23 And as he1931 talked1696 with5973 them, behold,2009 there came up5927 the champion,376 1143 the Philistine6430 of Gath,4480 1661 Goliath1555 by name,8034 out of the armies4480 4630 of the Philistines,6430 and spoke1696 according to the same428 words:1697 and David1732 heard8085 them.

24 And all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478 when they saw7200 853 the man,376 fled5127 from4480 6440 him, and were sore3966 afraid.3372

25 And the men376 of Israel3478 said,559 Have ye seen7200 this2088 man376 that is come up?5927 surely3588 to defy2778 853 Israel3478 is he come up:5927 and it shall be,1961 that the man376 who834 killeth5221 him, the king4428 will enrich6238 him with great1419 riches,6239 and will give5414 him his daughter,1323 and make6213 his father's1 house1004 free2670 in Israel.3478

26 And David1732 spoke559 to413 the men376 that stood5975 by5973 him, saying,559 What4100 shall be done6213 to the man376 that834 killeth5221 853 this1975 Philistine,6430 and taketh away5493 the reproach2781 from4480 5921 Israel?3478 for3588 who4310 is this2088 uncircumcised6189 Philistine,6430 that3588 he should defy2778 the armies4634 of the living2416 God?430

27 And the people5971 answered559 him after this2088 manner,1697 saying,559 So3541 shall it be done6213 to the man376 that834 killeth5221 him.

28 And Eliab446 his eldest1419 brother251 heard8085 when he spoke1696 unto413 the men;376 and Eliab's446 anger639 was kindled2734 against David,1732 and he said,559 Why4100 camest thou down3381 hither? and with5921 whom4310 hast thou left5203 those2007 few4592 sheep6629 in the wilderness?4057 I589 know3045 853 thy pride,2087 and the naughtiness7455 of thine heart;3824 for3588 thou art come down3381 that4616 thou mightest see7200 the battle.4421

29 And David1732 said,559 What4100 have I now6258 done?6213 Is there not3808 a cause?1697

30 And he turned5437 from4480 681 him toward another,413 4136 312 and spoke559 after the same2088 manner:1697 and the people5971 answered1697 him again7725 after the former7223 manner.1697

31 And when the words1697 were heard8085 which834 David1732 spoke,1696 they rehearsed5046 them before6440 Saul:7586 and he sent3947 for him.

32 And David1732 said559 to413 Saul,7586 Let no408 man's120 heart3820 fail5307 because5921 of him; thy servant5650 will go1980 and fight3898 with5973 this2088 Philistine.6430

33 And Saul7586 said559 to413 David,1732 Thou art not3808 able3201 to go1980 against413 this2088 Philistine6430 to fight3898 with5973 him: for3588 thou859 art but a youth,5288 and he1931 a man376 of war4421 from his youth.4480 5271

34 And David1732 said559 unto413 Saul,7586 Thy servant5650 kept1961 7462 his father's1 sheep,6629 and there came935 a lion,738 and a bear,1677 and took5375 a lamb7716 out of the flock:4480 5739

35 And I went out3318 after310 him, and smote5221 him, and delivered5337 it out of his mouth:4480 6310 and when he arose6965 against5921 me, I caught2388 him by his beard,2206 and smote5221 him, and slew4191 him.

36 Thy servant5650 slew5221 both1571 853 the lion738 and1571 the bear:1677 and this2088 uncircumcised6189 Philistine6430 shall be1961 as one259 of4480 them, seeing3588 he hath defied2778 the armies4634 of the living2416 God.430

37 David1732 said559 moreover, The LORD3068 that834 delivered5337 me out of the paw4480 3027 of the lion,738 and out of the paw4480 3027 of the bear,1677 he1931 will deliver5337 me out of the hand4480 3027 of this2088 Philistine.6430 And Saul7586 said559 unto413 David,1732 Go,1980 and the LORD3068 be1961 with5973 thee.

38 And Saul7586 armed3847 853 David1732 with his armor,4055 and he put5414 a helmet6959 of brass5178 upon5921 his head;7218 also he armed3847 him with a coat of mail.8302

39 And David1732 girded2296 853 his sword2719 upon4480 5921 his armor,4055 and he attempted2974 to go;1980 for3588 he had not3808 proved5254 it. And David1732 said559 unto413 Saul,7586 I cannot3201 3808 go1980 with these;428 for3588 I have not3808 proved5254 them. And David1732 put5493 them off4480 5921 him.

40 And he took3947 his staff4731 in his hand,3027 and chose977 him five2568 smooth2512 stones68 out of4480 the brook,5158 and put7760 them in a shepherd's7462 bag3627 which834 he had, even in a scrip;3219 and his sling7050 was in his hand:3027 and he drew near5066 to413 the Philistine.6430

41 And the Philistine6430 came1980 on1980 and drew near7131 unto413 David;1732 and the man376 that bore5375 the shield6793 went before6440 him.

42 And when the Philistine6430 looked about,5027 and saw7200 853 David,1732 he disdained959 him: for3588 he was1961 but a youth,5288 and ruddy,132 and of5973 a fair3303 countenance.4758

43 And the Philistine6430 said559 unto413 David,1732 Am I595 a dog,3611 that3588 thou859 comest935 to413 me with staves?4731 And the Philistine6430 cursed7043 853 David1732 by his gods.430

44 And the Philistine6430 said559 to413 David,1732 Come1980 to413 me, and I will give5414 853 thy flesh1320 unto the fowls5775 of the air,8064 and to the beasts929 of the field.7704

45 Then said559 David1732 to413 the Philistine,6430 Thou859 comest935 to413 me with a sword,2719 and with a spear,2595 and with a shield:3591 but I595 come935 to413 thee in the name8034 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of the armies4634 of Israel,3478 whom834 thou hast defied.2778

46 This2088 day3117 will the LORD3068 deliver5462 thee into mine hand;3027 and I will smite5221 thee, and take5493 853 thine head7218 from4480 5921 thee; and I will give5414 the carcasses6297 of the host4264 of the Philistines6430 this2088 day3117 unto the fowls5775 of the air,8064 and to the wild beasts2416 of the earth;776 that all3605 the earth776 may know3045 that3588 there is3426 a God430 in Israel.3478

47 And all3605 this2088 assembly6951 shall know3045 that3588 the LORD3068 saveth3467 not3808 with sword2719 and spear:2595 for3588 the battle4421 is the LORD's,3068 and he will give5414 you into our hands.3027

48 And it came to pass,1961 when3588 the Philistine6430 arose,6965 and came1980 and drew nigh7126 to meet7125 David,1732 that David1732 hasted,4116 and ran7323 toward the army4634 to meet7125 the Philistine.6430

49 And David1732 put7971 853 his hand3027 in413 his bag,3627 and took3947 thence4480 8033 a stone,68 and slung7049 it, and smote5221 853 the Philistine6430 in413 his forehead,4696 that the stone68 sunk2883 into his forehead;4696 and he fell5307 upon5921 his face6440 to the earth.776

50 So David1732 prevailed2388 over4480 the Philistine6430 with a sling7050 and with a stone,68 and smote5221 853 the Philistine,6430 and slew4191 him; but there was no369 sword2719 in the hand3027 of David.1732

51 Therefore David1732 ran,7323 and stood5975 upon413 the Philistine,6430 and took3947 853 his sword,2719 and drew8025 it out of the sheath4480 8593 thereof, and slew4191 him, and cut off3772 853 his head7218 therewith. And when the Philistines6430 saw7200 their champion1368 was dead,4191 they fled.5127

52 And the men376 of Israel3478 and of Judah3063 arose,6965 and shouted,7321 and pursued7291 853 the Philistines,6430 until5704 thou come935 to the valley,1516 and to5704 the gates8179 of Ekron.6138 And the wounded2491 of the Philistines6430 fell down5307 by the way1870 to Shaaraim,8189 even unto5704 Gath,1661 and unto5704 Ekron.6138

53 And the children1121 of Israel3478 returned7725 from chasing4480 1814 after310 the Philistines,6430 and they spoiled8155 853 their tents.4264

54 And David1732 took3947 853 the head7218 of the Philistine,6430 and brought935 it to Jerusalem;3389 but he put7760 his armor3627 in his tent.168

55 And when Saul7586 saw7200 853 David1732 go forth3318 against7125 the Philistine,6430 he said559 unto413 Abner,74 the captain8269 of the host,6635 Abner,74 whose4310 son1121 is this2088 youth?5288 And Abner74 said,559 As thy soul5315 liveth,2416 O king,4428 I cannot518 tell.3045

56 And the king4428 said,559 Inquire7592 thou859 whose4310 son1121 the stripling5958 is.

57 And as David1732 returned7725 from the slaughter4480 5221 of853 the Philistine,6430 Abner74 took3947 him, and brought935 him before6440 Saul7586 with the head7218 of the Philistine6430 in his hand.3027

58 And Saul7586 said559 to413 him, Whose4310 son1121 art thou,859 thou young man?5288 And David1732 answered,559 I am the son1121 of thy servant5650 Jesse3448 the Bethlehemite.1022

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 Now the Philistines6430 gathered together622 853 their armies4264 to battle,4421 and were gathered together622 at Shochoh,7755 which834 belongeth to Judah,3063 and pitched2583 between996 Shochoh7755 and Azekah,5825 in Ephes-dammim.658

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 And Saul7586 and the men376 of Israel3478 were gathered together,622 and pitched2583 by the valley6010 of Elah,425 and set the battle4421 in array6186 against7125 the Philistines.6430

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 And the Philistines6430 stood5975 on413 a mountain2022 on the one side,4480 2088 and Israel3478 stood5975 on413 a mountain2022 on the other side:4480 2088 and there was a valley1516 between996 them.

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 And there went out3318 a champion376 1143 out of the camp4480 4264 of the Philistines,6430 named8034 Goliath,1555 of Gath,4480 1661 whose height1363 was six8337 cubits520 and a span.2239

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 And he had a helmet3553 of brass5178 upon5921 his head,7218 and he1931 was armed3847 with a coat8302 of mail;7193 and the weight4948 of the coat8302 was five2568 thousand505 shekels8255 of brass.5178

5 首冠銅冑、身衣銅甲、重二千五百兩、

6 And he had greaves4697 of brass5178 upon5921 his legs,7272 and a target3591 of brass5178 between996 his shoulders.3802

6 股著銅褌、肩負銅戟、

7 And the staff2671 of his spear2595 was like a weaver's707 beam;4500 and his spear's2595 head3852 weighed six8337 hundred3967 shekels8255 of iron:1270 and one bearing5375 a shield6793 went1980 before6440 him.

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 And he stood5975 and cried7121 unto413 the armies4634 of Israel,3478 and said559 unto them, Why4100 are ye come out3318 to set your battle4421 in array?6186 am not3808 I595 a Philistine,6430 and ye859 servants5650 to Saul?7586 choose1262 you a man376 for you, and let him come down3381 to413 me.

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 If518 he be able3201 to fight3898 with854 me, and to kill5221 me, then will we be1961 your servants:5650 but if518 I589 prevail3201 against him, and kill5221 him, then shall ye be1961 our servants,5650 and serve5647 us.

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 And the Philistine6430 said,559 I589 defy2778 853 the armies4634 of Israel3478 this2088 day;3117 give5414 me a man,376 that we may fight3898 together.3162

10 又曰、以色列全軍、今日爲我所侮、可使一人出、與我戰鬬。

11 When Saul7586 and all3605 Israel3478 heard8085 853 those428 words1697 of the Philistine,6430 they were dismayed,2865 and greatly3966 afraid.3372

11 掃羅與以色列族、咸聞其言、驚懼特甚。

12 Now David1732 was the son1121 of that2088 Ephrathite376 673 of Bethlehem-judah,4480 1035 whose name8034 was Jesse;3448 and he had eight8083 sons:1121 and the man376 went935 among men376 for an old2204 man in the days3117 of Saul.7586

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 And the three7969 eldest1419 sons1121 of Jesse3448 went1980 and followed1980 310 Saul7586 to the battle:4421 and the names8034 of his three7969 sons1121 that834 went1980 to the battle4421 were Eliab446 the firstborn,1060 and next4932 unto him Abinadab,41 and the third7992 Shammah.8048

13 其長子以利押次亞庇拿撻、三沙馬、俱從掃羅以戰。

14 And David1732 was the youngest:6996 and the three7969 eldest1419 followed1980 310 Saul.7586

14 大闢乃季子也、其兄三人、俱從掃羅、

15 But David1732 went1980 and returned7725 from4480 5921 Saul7586 to feed7462 853 his father's1 sheep6629 at Bethlehem.1035

15 則離掃羅側、歸伯利恆、牧父之羊。

16 And the Philistine6430 drew near5066 morning7925 and evening,6150 and presented himself3320 forty705 days.3117

16 非利士人、歷四十日、無間朝夕、必至軍前。

17 And Jesse3448 said559 unto David1732 his son,1121 Take3947 now4994 for thy brethren251 an ephah374 of this2088 parched7039 corn, and these2088 ten6235 loaves,3899 and run7323 to the camp4264 to thy brethren;251

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 And carry935 these428 ten6235 cheeses2757 2461 unto the captain8269 of their thousand,505 and look how6485 thy brethren251 fare,7965 and take3947 their pledge.6161

18 又攜乳餅十、以饋千夫長、問爾兄安、取其質而歸。

19 Now Saul,7586 and they,1992 and all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478 were in the valley6010 of Elah,425 fighting3898 with5973 the Philistines.6430

19 掃羅及以色列族衆、在以拉谷、與非利士人戰、

20 And David1732 rose up early7925 in the morning,1242 and left5203 853 the sheep6629 with5921 a keeper,8104 and took,5375 and went,1980 as834 Jesse3448 had commanded6680 him; and he came935 to the trench,4570 as the host2428 was going forth3318 to413 the fight,4634 and shouted7321 for the battle.4421

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 For Israel3478 and the Philistines6430 had put the battle in array,6186 army4634 against7125 army.4634

21 以色列族與非利士人、陳列行伍、兩軍相對。

22 And David1732 left5203 853 his carriage3627 in5921 the hand3027 of the keeper8104 of the carriage,3627 and ran7323 into the army,4634 and came935 and saluted7592 7965 his brethren.251

22 大闢以所攜之物、付於守者手、趨入行伍、問其兄安。

23 And as he1931 talked1696 with5973 them, behold,2009 there came up5927 the champion,376 1143 the Philistine6430 of Gath,4480 1661 Goliath1555 by name,8034 out of the armies4480 4630 of the Philistines,6430 and spoke1696 according to the same428 words:1697 and David1732 heard8085 them.

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 And all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478 when they saw7200 853 the man,376 fled5127 from4480 6440 him, and were sore3966 afraid.3372

24 以色列族見之、咸懼而遁、

25 And the men376 of Israel3478 said,559 Have ye seen7200 this2088 man376 that is come up?5927 surely3588 to defy2778 853 Israel3478 is he come up:5927 and it shall be,1961 that the man376 who834 killeth5221 him, the king4428 will enrich6238 him with great1419 riches,6239 and will give5414 him his daughter,1323 and make6213 his father's1 house1004 free2670 in Israel.3478

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 And David1732 spoke559 to413 the men376 that stood5975 by5973 him, saying,559 What4100 shall be done6213 to the man376 that834 killeth5221 853 this1975 Philistine,6430 and taketh away5493 the reproach2781 from4480 5921 Israel?3478 for3588 who4310 is this2088 uncircumcised6189 Philistine,6430 that3588 he should defy2778 the armies4634 of the living2416 God?430

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 And the people5971 answered559 him after this2088 manner,1697 saying,559 So3541 shall it be done6213 to the man376 that834 killeth5221 him.

27 民如前言曰、能殺此人者、可得此。

28 And Eliab446 his eldest1419 brother251 heard8085 when he spoke1696 unto413 the men;376 and Eliab's446 anger639 was kindled2734 against David,1732 and he said,559 Why4100 camest thou down3381 hither? and with5921 whom4310 hast thou left5203 those2007 few4592 sheep6629 in the wilderness?4057 I589 know3045 853 thy pride,2087 and the naughtiness7455 of thine heart;3824 for3588 thou art come down3381 that4616 thou mightest see7200 the battle.4421

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 And David1732 said,559 What4100 have I now6258 done?6213 Is there not3808 a cause?1697

29 大闢曰、我何所爲、我豈非奉命而來乎。

30 And he turned5437 from4480 681 him toward another,413 4136 312 and spoke559 after the same2088 manner:1697 and the people5971 answered1697 him again7725 after the former7223 manner.1697

30 遂他顧、而語問如故、民答一若前言。

31 And when the words1697 were heard8085 which834 David1732 spoke,1696 they rehearsed5046 them before6440 Saul:7586 and he sent3947 for him.

31 有聞大闢言、告於掃羅前、遂召之。

32 And David1732 said559 to413 Saul,7586 Let no408 man's120 heart3820 fail5307 because5921 of him; thy servant5650 will go1980 and fight3898 with5973 this2088 Philistine.6430

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 And Saul7586 said559 to413 David,1732 Thou art not3808 able3201 to go1980 against413 this2088 Philistine6430 to fight3898 with5973 him: for3588 thou859 art but a youth,5288 and he1931 a man376 of war4421 from his youth.4480 5271

33 掃羅曰、欲與戰鬬、爾必不能、爾年甚少、彼自幼嫺於武事、

34 And David1732 said559 unto413 Saul,7586 Thy servant5650 kept1961 7462 his father's1 sheep,6629 and there came935 a lion,738 and a bear,1677 and took5375 a lamb7716 out of the flock:4480 5739

34 大闢曰、昔僕爲父牧羊、有獅與熊至羊羣、攫取羔羊。

35 And I went out3318 after310 him, and smote5221 him, and delivered5337 it out of his mouth:4480 6310 and when he arose6965 against5921 me, I caught2388 him by his beard,2206 and smote5221 him, and slew4191 him.

35 我追而擊之、援羔於其口、彼欲害我、我執其鬣、擊而殺之。

36 Thy servant5650 slew5221 both1571 853 the lion738 and1571 the bear:1677 and this2088 uncircumcised6189 Philistine6430 shall be1961 as one259 of4480 them, seeing3588 he hath defied2778 the armies4634 of the living2416 God.430

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 David1732 said559 moreover, The LORD3068 that834 delivered5337 me out of the paw4480 3027 of the lion,738 and out of the paw4480 3027 of the bear,1677 he1931 will deliver5337 me out of the hand4480 3027 of this2088 Philistine.6430 And Saul7586 said559 unto413 David,1732 Go,1980 and the LORD3068 be1961 with5973 thee.

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 And Saul7586 armed3847 853 David1732 with his armor,4055 and he put5414 a helmet6959 of brass5178 upon5921 his head;7218 also he armed3847 him with a coat of mail.8302

38 掃羅以其甲冑賜於大闢、遂冠銅冑披鎧甲、

39 And David1732 girded2296 853 his sword2719 upon4480 5921 his armor,4055 and he attempted2974 to go;1980 for3588 he had not3808 proved5254 it. And David1732 said559 unto413 Saul,7586 I cannot3201 3808 go1980 with these;428 for3588 I have not3808 proved5254 them. And David1732 put5493 them off4480 5921 him.

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 And he took3947 his staff4731 in his hand,3027 and chose977 him five2568 smooth2512 stones68 out of4480 the brook,5158 and put7760 them in a shepherd's7462 bag3627 which834 he had, even in a scrip;3219 and his sling7050 was in his hand:3027 and he drew near5066 to413 the Philistine.6430

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 And the Philistine6430 came1980 on1980 and drew near7131 unto413 David;1732 and the man376 that bore5375 the shield6793 went before6440 him.

41 非利士人前迎大闢、持干者爲先導。

42 And when the Philistine6430 looked about,5027 and saw7200 853 David,1732 he disdained959 him: for3588 he was1961 but a youth,5288 and ruddy,132 and of5973 a fair3303 countenance.4758

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 And the Philistine6430 said559 unto413 David,1732 Am I595 a dog,3611 that3588 thou859 comest935 to413 me with staves?4731 And the Philistine6430 cursed7043 853 David1732 by his gods.430

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 And the Philistine6430 said559 to413 David,1732 Come1980 to413 me, and I will give5414 853 thy flesh1320 unto the fowls5775 of the air,8064 and to the beasts929 of the field.7704

44 又謂之曰、汝來、我取爾肉、給於飛鳥走獸。

45 Then said559 David1732 to413 the Philistine,6430 Thou859 comest935 to413 me with a sword,2719 and with a spear,2595 and with a shield:3591 but I595 come935 to413 thee in the name8034 of the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 the God430 of the armies4634 of Israel,3478 whom834 thou hast defied.2778

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 This2088 day3117 will the LORD3068 deliver5462 thee into mine hand;3027 and I will smite5221 thee, and take5493 853 thine head7218 from4480 5921 thee; and I will give5414 the carcasses6297 of the host4264 of the Philistines6430 this2088 day3117 unto the fowls5775 of the air,8064 and to the wild beasts2416 of the earth;776 that all3605 the earth776 may know3045 that3588 there is3426 a God430 in Israel.3478

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 And all3605 this2088 assembly6951 shall know3045 that3588 the LORD3068 saveth3467 not3808 with sword2719 and spear:2595 for3588 the battle4421 is the LORD's,3068 and he will give5414 you into our hands.3027

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 And it came to pass,1961 when3588 the Philistine6430 arose,6965 and came1980 and drew nigh7126 to meet7125 David,1732 that David1732 hasted,4116 and ran7323 toward the army4634 to meet7125 the Philistine.6430

48 非利士人進、欲迎大闢、大闢疾趨、欲迎非利士人。

49 And David1732 put7971 853 his hand3027 in413 his bag,3627 and took3947 thence4480 8033 a stone,68 and slung7049 it, and smote5221 853 the Philistine6430 in413 his forehead,4696 that the stone68 sunk2883 into his forehead;4696 and he fell5307 upon5921 his face6440 to the earth.776

49 探囊取石、以繩發之、擊非利士人、深入顙際、遂仆於地。

50 So David1732 prevailed2388 over4480 the Philistine6430 with a sling7050 and with a stone,68 and smote5221 853 the Philistine,6430 and slew4191 him; but there was no369 sword2719 in the hand3027 of David.1732

50 如是大闢以繩發石、擊非利士人而殺之、手不持刃。

51 Therefore David1732 ran,7323 and stood5975 upon413 the Philistine,6430 and took3947 853 his sword,2719 and drew8025 it out of the sheath4480 8593 thereof, and slew4191 him, and cut off3772 853 his head7218 therewith. And when the Philistines6430 saw7200 their champion1368 was dead,4191 they fled.5127

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 And the men376 of Israel3478 and of Judah3063 arose,6965 and shouted,7321 and pursued7291 853 the Philistines,6430 until5704 thou come935 to the valley,1516 and to5704 the gates8179 of Ekron.6138 And the wounded2491 of the Philistines6430 fell down5307 by the way1870 to Shaaraim,8189 even unto5704 Gath,1661 and unto5704 Ekron.6138

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 And the children1121 of Israel3478 returned7725 from chasing4480 1814 after310 the Philistines,6430 and they spoiled8155 853 their tents.4264

53 以色列族追非利士人、旣畢其事、則旋軍刧幕。

54 And David1732 took3947 853 the head7218 of the Philistine,6430 and brought935 it to Jerusalem;3389 but he put7760 his armor3627 in his tent.168

54 大闢取非利士人首級、至耶路撒冷、藏甲於幕。

55 And when Saul7586 saw7200 853 David1732 go forth3318 against7125 the Philistine,6430 he said559 unto413 Abner,74 the captain8269 of the host,6635 Abner,74 whose4310 son1121 is this2088 youth?5288 And Abner74 said,559 As thy soul5315 liveth,2416 O king,4428 I cannot518 tell.3045

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 And the king4428 said,559 Inquire7592 thou859 whose4310 son1121 the stripling5958 is.

56 王曰、汝詢此童果誰之子。

57 And as David1732 returned7725 from the slaughter4480 5221 of853 the Philistine,6430 Abner74 took3947 him, and brought935 him before6440 Saul7586 with the head7218 of the Philistine6430 in his hand.3027

57 大闢殺非利士人而歸、手執首級、押尼耳導之見掃羅。

58 And Saul7586 said559 to413 him, Whose4310 son1121 art thou,859 thou young man?5288 And David1732 answered,559 I am the son1121 of thy servant5650 Jesse3448 the Bethlehemite.1022

58 掃羅曰、少者誰氏之子乎。對曰、爾僕伯利恆人、耶西之子、
