1 Samuel 17:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ His spear shaft^(A) was like a weaver’s beam, and the iron point of his spear weighed 15 pounds.^[a] In addition, a shield-bearer^(B) was walking in front of him.

⁸ He stood and shouted to the Israelite battle formations: “Why do you come out to line up in battle formation?” He asked them, “Am I not a Philistine and are you not servants of Saul?^(C) Choose one of your men and have him come down against me. ⁹ If he wins in a fight against me and kills me, we will be your servants. But if I win against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”^(D)
