大卫和歌利亚
17 非利士人召集他们的军队来争战。他们聚集在犹大的梭哥，在梭哥和亚西加中间的以弗‧大悯安营。 2 扫罗和以色列人也聚集，在以拉谷安营，摆阵迎战，要与非利士人打仗。 3 非利士人站在这边的山上，以色列人站在那边的山上，当中有谷。 4 从非利士营中出来一个挑战的人，名叫歌利亚，是迦特人，身高六肘一虎口。 5 他头戴铜盔，身穿铠甲，甲重五千舍客勒铜。 6 他腿上有铜护膝，两肩之中背负铜矛。 7 他的枪杆粗如织布机的轴，枪头的铁重六百舍客勒。有一个拿盾牌的人走在他前面。 8 歌利亚站着，对以色列的军队喊叫，对他们说：“你们出来摆阵作战是为了什么呢？我不是非利士人吗？你们不是扫罗的仆人吗？你们选一个人出来，叫他下来到我这里吧。 9 他若能与我决斗，把我杀死，我们就作你们的奴隶；我若胜了他，把他杀死，你们就作我们的奴隶，服事我们。” 10 那非利士人又说：“我今日向以色列的军队骂阵。你们叫一个人出来，跟我决斗吧。” 11 扫罗和以色列众人听见非利士人这些话就惊惶，非常害怕。
12 大卫是犹大伯利恒的以法他人耶西的儿子，耶西有八个儿子。在扫罗的时候，这人年老，在众人中受敬重[a]。 13 耶西最大的三个儿子跟随扫罗出征。出征的三个儿子名字是：长子以利押，次子亚比拿达，三子沙玛。 14 大卫是最小的，最大的三个儿子跟随扫罗。 15 大卫有时离开扫罗，回伯利恒为他父亲放羊。 16 那非利士人早晚都出来站着，共四十日。
17 耶西对他儿子大卫说：“你拿一伊法烘了的穗子和十个饼，跑到营里去，交给你的哥哥， 18 再拿这十块奶饼，送给他们的千夫长，并要问你哥哥好，向他们要个凭据回来。”
19 扫罗和大卫的三个哥哥，以及以色列众人，都在以拉谷与非利士人打仗。 20 大卫早晨起来，把羊交托一个看守的人，照耶西所吩咐的带着食物去了。到了军营，军队刚出到战场，呐喊叫阵。 21 以色列人和非利士人都摆列阵势，彼此相对。 22 大卫把东西留在看守物件的人手中，跑到战场，问他哥哥好。 23 他与他们说话的时候，看哪，那挑战的人，就是迦特的非利士人歌利亚，从非利士队伍中上来，说了同样的话，大卫听见了。
24 以色列众人看见那人就非常害怕，从他面前逃跑。 25 以色列人说：“这上来的人你看见了吗？他上来是要向以色列人骂阵。若有人能杀他，王必赏赐他大财，将自己的女儿嫁给他，并在以色列人中免除他父家纳粮服役。” 26 大卫对站在旁边的人说：“若有人杀这非利士人，除掉以色列人的羞辱，他会怎样呢？这未受割礼的非利士人是谁，竟敢向永生 神的军队骂阵！” 27 百姓照同样的话对他说：“若有人杀了那人，必这样待他。”
28 大卫的长兄以利押听见大卫与他们所说的话，就向他发怒，说：“你下来做什么呢？在旷野的那几只羊，你交托谁了呢？我知道你的骄傲和你心里的恶意，你下来只是为了看战争！” 29 大卫说：“我现在做了什么呢？只是问一句话也不可以吗？” 30 大卫离开他转向别人，问了同样的事，百姓也照先前的话回答他。
31 有人听见大卫所说的话，就在扫罗面前报告；扫罗就派人叫他来。 32 大卫对扫罗说：“人不必因那非利士人灰心。你的仆人要去与他决斗。” 33 扫罗对大卫说：“你不能去与那非利士人决斗，因为你年纪太轻，他从小就是战士。” 34 大卫对扫罗说：“你仆人为父亲放羊，有时狮子来了，有时熊来了，从群中抓走一只羔羊。 35 我就追赶它，击打它，把羔羊从它口中救出来。它起来攻击我，我就揪它的胡子，打死它。 36 你仆人曾打死狮子和熊，这未受割礼的非利士人必像狮子和熊一样，因为他向永生 神的军队骂阵。” 37 大卫又说：“耶和华救我脱离狮子和熊的爪，他必救我脱离这非利士人的手。”扫罗对大卫说：“你去吧！耶和华必与你同在。” 38 扫罗把自己的战衣给大卫穿上，将铜盔戴在他头上，又给他穿上铠甲。 39 大卫佩刀在战衣上，试着走走看。因大卫没有试过，就对扫罗说：“我穿戴这些不能走路，因为我没有试过。”于是他脱下身上的这些军装。 40 他手中拿杖，又在溪中挑选了五块光滑的石子，放在袋里，就是牧人带的囊里，手里拿着甩石的机弦，迎向那非利士人。
41 那非利士人渐渐走近大卫，拿盾牌的人在他前面。 42 非利士人观看，见了大卫，就藐视他，因为他年轻，面色红润，容貌俊美。 43 非利士人对大卫说：“你拿着杖到我这里来，我岂是狗吗？”非利士人就指着自己的神明诅咒大卫。 44 非利士人又对大卫说：“来吧！我要把你的肉给空中的飞鸟和田野的走兽。” 45 大卫对非利士人说：“你来攻击我，是靠着刀枪和铜矛，但我来攻击你，是靠着万军之耶和华的名，就是你所辱骂、带领以色列军队的 神。 46 今日耶和华必将你交在我手里。我必杀你，砍下你的头，今日我要把非利士军兵的尸体给空中的飞鸟和地上的野兽，使全地的人都知道以色列中有 神， 47 又使这里的全会众知道，耶和华使人得胜，不是用刀用枪，因为战争全在乎耶和华。他必将你们交在我们手里。”
48 那非利士人起来，迎向大卫，走近前来。大卫急忙往战场，迎向非利士人跑去。 49 大卫伸手入囊中，从里面掏出一块石子来，用机弦甩去，击中非利士人的前额，石子进入额内，他就仆倒，面伏于地。
50 这样，大卫用机弦和石子胜了那非利士人，击中了他，把他杀死；大卫手中没有刀。 51 大卫跑去，站在那非利士人身旁，把他的刀从鞘中拔出来，杀死他，用刀割下他的头。非利士众人看见他们的勇士死了，就都逃跑。 52 以色列人和犹大人就起来呐喊，追赶非利士人，直到该[b]和以革伦的城门。被杀的非利士人倒在路上，从沙拉音直到迦特和以革伦。 53 以色列人追赶非利士人回来，抢夺了他们的军营。 54 大卫拿着那非利士人的头带到耶路撒冷，却把那非利士人的军装放在自己的帐棚里。
大卫觐见扫罗
55 扫罗看见大卫去迎战非利士人，就问押尼珥元帅说：“押尼珥，那年轻人是谁的儿子？”押尼珥说：“王啊，我在你面前起誓，我不知道。” 56 王说：“你可以问问那孩子是谁的儿子。” 57 大卫打死那非利士人回来，押尼珥领他到扫罗面前，大卫手中拿着非利士人的头。 58 扫罗问他说：“年轻人，你是谁的儿子？”大卫说：“我是你仆人伯利恒人耶西的儿子。”

大卫迎战歌利亚
17 非利士人在犹大的梭哥招聚军队，准备作战。他们在梭哥和亚西加之间的以弗·大悯扎营。 2 扫罗和以色列人也聚集起来在以拉谷安营，摆好阵势准备迎战。 3 双方的军队在两边的山上对峙，中间隔着山谷。 4 非利士营中有个名叫歌利亚的巨人出来讨战。他来自迦特，身高三米， 5 头戴铜盔，身穿重达五十七公斤的铠甲， 6 腿上有铜护膝，肩背铜戟。 7 戟柄粗如织布机的轴，铁戟头重七公斤。有卫士拿着他的盾牌走在前面。 8 他挑战以色列人，说：“你们为什么列阵打仗呢？我是非利士人，你们是扫罗的仆人，你们选一个人下来跟我一比高下。 9 如果他打得过我，将我杀了，我们就做你们的奴隶。但如果我战胜他，把他杀了，你们就要做我们的奴隶，服侍我们。 10 我今天向以色列军队骂阵，你们找一个人出来跟我比个高下吧！” 11 扫罗和所有以色列人听了非利士人的这些话，都吓得惊恐不已。
12 大卫是以法他人耶西的儿子。扫罗执政期间，耶西已经年纪老迈，住在犹大的伯利恒，有八个儿子。 13 他的三个儿子已经跟随扫罗去打仗了，他们是长子以利押、次子亚比拿达和三子沙玛。 14 大卫年纪最小，他的三个哥哥跟随扫罗期间， 15 他有时去扫罗的军营，有时回伯利恒为他父亲放羊。 16 这非利士人早晚都出来骂阵，长达四十天。
17 一天，耶西对大卫说：“你带上十公斤烤麦和十个饼，赶快到军营中送给你的哥哥们。 18 再带十块奶饼送给他们的千夫长，看望一下他们，带个信儿回来。 19 他们跟随扫罗率领的以色列军在以拉谷跟非利士人打仗。”
20 大卫清早起来把羊交给一个牧人看顾，然后照父亲的吩咐带着食物出发了。他来到军营的时候，大军正吶喊着出战。 21 以色列人与非利士人摆好阵势，两军对垒。 22 大卫把带来的东西交给负责看守的人保管，自己跑到阵中去问候哥哥们。 23 他们正在交谈的时候，非利士军中的迦特人歌利亚出来像往常一样向以色列军骂阵，大卫都听见了。 24 以色列人一看见歌利亚都竞相奔逃，极其害怕。 25 以色列人彼此议论说：“看那个人！他是来向以色列军骂阵的。谁要能杀死他，王必有重赏，还会把女儿嫁给他为妻，并免去他父亲家在以色列应缴的赋税。” 26 大卫问站在旁边的人：“如果有人杀了这非利士人，洗掉以色列人的羞辱，他会得到什么呢？这个未受割礼的非利士人是谁？竟敢向永活上帝的军队骂阵！” 27 他们就把刚才的话一一告诉大卫。
28 大卫的长兄以利押听见他跟人说话，就愤怒地对他说：“你来这里做什么？你把旷野的那几只羊交给谁了？我知道你骄傲自大，心怀恶意，你来只是想看打仗。” 29 大卫说：“我做错了什么？我问一下都不行吗？” 30 他又去问其他人同样的问题，得到了同样的答复。 31 有人听见了大卫的话，就去告诉扫罗，扫罗便派人来召大卫。 32 大卫对扫罗说：“大家不要因这个非利士人而丧胆，让仆人去战他。” 33 扫罗说：“你不能去，你年纪还小，他却是一个久经沙场的战士。” 34 大卫说：“我一直替父亲放羊，有时候狮子或熊会从羊群中叼走羊， 35 我会去追打它，把羊从它口中救出来。如果它起来攻击我，我就揪着它的胡子把它打死。 36 我曾打死过狮子和熊。这未受割礼的非利士人竟敢向永活上帝的军队骂阵，他的下场也必像狮子和熊一样。 37 耶和华曾经从狮子和熊的利爪下拯救我，祂也必从非利士人手中拯救我。”扫罗对大卫说：“去吧，愿耶和华与你同在。” 38 扫罗把自己的战袍给大卫穿上，又给他戴上自己的头盔，穿上自己的铠甲。 39 大卫把刀挎在战袍上，试着走了几步，却不习惯这种装束，就对扫罗说：“我穿着这些无法作战，因为我不习惯。”他便摘下头盔，卸下铠甲， 40 然后拿着杖，在溪里捡了五块光滑的石头放进牧人用的袋子，拿着投石器向歌利亚走去。
41 歌利亚也迎着大卫走来，卫士拿着他的盾牌走在前面。 42 歌利亚见大卫是个面色红润、相貌英俊的少年，就藐视他。 43 他对大卫说：“你拿着棍子来战我，难道我是一条狗吗？”他就凭自己的神明咒诅大卫， 44 又说：“你过来，我要把你的肉丢给天上的飞禽和地上的走兽。” 45 大卫答道：“你是靠刀枪剑戟来攻击我，我是靠万军之耶和华的名，就是你所蔑视的以色列军队的上帝来迎战你。 46 今天，耶和华必把你交在我手中，我必杀死你，砍掉你的头，用非利士军兵的尸体喂天上的飞禽和地上的走兽，使普天下都知道以色列有上帝。 47 这里所有的人都必知道耶和华拯救人不靠刀枪，因为祂掌管战争的胜负。祂必把你们交在我们手中。” 48 歌利亚迎面走来的时候，大卫就飞快地跑上去应战， 49 他从袋里拿出一块石子用投石器猛力抛去，石子击中歌利亚的额头，嵌了进去，他迎面栽倒在地。
50 大卫就这样不用刀剑，只用投石器和一块石子战胜了那个非利士人，杀死了他。 51 大卫跑到那非利士人身边，从他刀鞘里拔出刀杀了他，并割下他的头颅。非利士人看见自己的英雄死了，纷纷逃跑。 52 以色列人和犹大人乘势吶喊，追杀非利士人，直追到迦特和以革伦的城门。通往迦特和以革伦的沙拉音大道上到处是非利士人的尸体。 53 以色列军队追杀非利士人回来，又掳掠了他们的营地。 54 大卫把那非利士人的头颅带到耶路撒冷，把那人的兵器存放在自己的帐篷中。
55 扫罗看见大卫出去迎战歌利亚，就问押尼珥元帅：“押尼珥啊，那少年是谁的儿子？”押尼珥答道：“王啊，我向你发誓，我真的不知道。” 56 扫罗王说：“你去查查他是谁的儿子。” 57 大卫杀了歌利亚回来，押尼珥就把他带到扫罗那里，他手上还拿着那非利士人的头颅。 58 扫罗问他：“年轻人，你是谁的儿子？”大卫答道：“我是你仆人伯利恒人耶西的儿子。”

David and Goliath
17 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled(A) at Sokoh in Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes Dammim, between Sokoh(B) and Azekah.(C) 2 Saul and the Israelites assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah(D) and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. 3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.
4 A champion named Goliath,(E) who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.[a] 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels[b]; 6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin(F) was slung on his back. 7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod,(G) and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels.[c] His shield bearer(H) went ahead of him.
8 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose(I) a man and have him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.” 10 Then the Philistine said, “This day I defy(J) the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.(K)” 11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.
12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite(L) named Jesse,(M) who was from Bethlehem(N) in Judah. Jesse had eight(O) sons, and in Saul’s time he was very old. 13 Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war: The firstborn was Eliab;(P) the second, Abinadab;(Q) and the third, Shammah.(R) 14 David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul, 15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend(S) his father’s sheep(T) at Bethlehem.
16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand.
17 Now Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah[d](U) of roasted grain(V) and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp. 18 Take along these ten cheeses to the commander of their unit. See how your brothers(W) are and bring back some assurance[e] from them. 19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
20 Early in the morning David left the flock in the care of a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry. 21 Israel and the Philistines were drawing up their lines facing each other. 22 David left his things with the keeper of supplies,(X) ran to the battle lines and asked his brothers how they were. 23 As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, stepped out from his lines and shouted his usual(Y) defiance, and David heard it. 24 Whenever the Israelites saw the man, they all fled from him in great fear.
25 Now the Israelites had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out? He comes out to defy Israel. The king will give great wealth to the man who kills him. He will also give him his daughter(Z) in marriage and will exempt his family from taxes(AA) in Israel.”
26 David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace(AB) from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised(AC) Philistine that he should defy(AD) the armies of the living(AE) God?”
27 They repeated to him what they had been saying and told him, “This is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger(AF) at him and asked, “Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.”
29 “Now what have I done?” said David. “Can’t I even speak?” 30 He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before. 31 What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.
32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart(AG) on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
33 Saul replied,(AH) “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion(AI) or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized(AJ) it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion(AK) and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37 The Lord who rescued(AL) me from the paw of the lion(AM) and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with(AN) you.”
38 Then Saul dressed David in his own(AO) tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. 39 David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.
“I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. 40 Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer(AP) in front of him, kept coming closer to David. 42 He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome,(AQ) and he despised(AR) him. 43 He said to David, “Am I a dog,(AS) that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds(AT) and the wild animals!(AU)”
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,(AV) but I come against you in the name(AW) of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.(AX) 46 This day the Lord will deliver(AY) you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses(AZ) of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world(BA) will know that there is a God in Israel.(BB) 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword(BC) or spear that the Lord saves;(BD) for the battle(BE) is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling(BF) and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut(BG) off his head with the sword.(BH)
When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. 52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath[f] and to the gates of Ekron.(BI) Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim(BJ) road to Gath and Ekron. 53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.
54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.
55 As Saul watched David(BK) going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, “Abner,(BL) whose son is that young man?”
Abner replied, “As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know.”
56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
57 As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with David still holding the Philistine’s head.
58 “Whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse(BM) of Bethlehem.”

17 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array 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 there was a valley between them.
4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass 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 one bearing a shield went before him.
8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
10 And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
15 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of thy brethren;
18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth 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 spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh 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 answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37 David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.
38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield 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 unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that 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 upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
56 And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is.
57 And as David returned from the slaughter of 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 art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
