Shmuel Alef 17:39-41

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³⁹ And Dovid girded his cherev over his armor-clothes, and he tried to walk; for lo nissah (he had not tested, proved) it. And Dovid said unto Sha’ul, I cannot go with these; for lo nissti (I have not proved them). And Dovid took them off him.

⁴⁰ And he took his makel (stick, staff) in his yad, and chose him chamishah chalukei avanim (five smooth stones) out of the nachal (brook), and put them in a keli haro’im (shepherd’s bag) which he had, even in a wayfarer’s bag; and his kela (slingshot) was in his yad; and he drew near to the Pelishti.

⁴¹ And the Pelishti came on and drew near unto Dovid; and the ish, the no’se hatzinnah, went ahead of him.
