1 Samuel 17:44-46

Expanded Bible

⁴⁴ He said to David, “Come here. I’ll ·feed your body [^Lgive your flesh] to the birds of the air and the wild animals [^Lof the field]!”

⁴⁵ But David said to ·him [the Philistine], “You come to me using a sword ·and two spears [a spear and a javelin]. But I come to you in the name of the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; of hosts], the God of the armies of Israel! You have ·spoken against [taunted; defied; challenged] him. ⁴⁶ Today the Lord will ·hand you over to me [deliver you into my hands], and I’ll ·kill you [^Lstrike you down] and cut off your head. Today I’ll feed the bodies of the Philistine soldiers to the birds of the air and the wild animals. Then all the ·world [earth] will know there is a God in Israel!
