1 Samuel 17:39-41

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁹ And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off,

⁴⁰ And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine.

⁴¹ And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him.
