1 Samuel 17:44-46

Contemporary English Version

⁴⁴ and shouted, “Come on! When I'm finished with you, I'll feed you to the birds and wild animals!”

⁴⁵ David answered:

You've come out to fight me with a sword and a spear and a dagger. But I've come out to fight you in the name of the Lord All-Powerful. He is the God of Israel's army, and you have insulted him too!

⁴⁶ Today the Lord will help me defeat you. I'll knock you down and cut off your head, and I'll feed the bodies of the other Philistine soldiers to the birds and wild animals. Then the whole world will know that Israel has a real God.
