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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 greaves4697 of brass5178 upon5921 his legs,7272 and a target3591 of brass5178 between996 his shoulders.3802

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

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

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

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

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

14 And David was the youngest;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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.
