¹⁰ And the Philistine said, ^(A)“I defy the ranks of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together.”

²¹ And when ^(A)he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, struck him down.

⁴⁵ Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with ^(A)a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, ^(B)whom you have defied.

³⁶ Your servant has struck down both lions and bears, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, ^(A)for he has defied the armies of the living God.”

²⁵ And the men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to ^(A)defy Israel. And the king will enrich the man who kills him with great riches ^(B)and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free in Israel.” ²⁶ And David said to the men who stood by him, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away ^(C)the reproach from Israel? For who is this ^(D)uncircumcised Philistine, that he should ^(E)defy the armies of ^(F)the living God?”

¹⁹ But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite servant and ^(A)Geshem the Arab heard of it, ^(B)they jeered at us and despised us and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? ^(C)Are you rebelling against the king?”

⁷ And Balaam ^(A)took up his discourse and said,

³⁷ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, ^(A)praise and extol and honor the ^(B)King of heaven, ^(C)for all his works are right and his ways are just; and ^(D)those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
