1 Samuel 17:45-48

English Standard Version

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. ⁴⁶ This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. ^(C)And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day ^(D)to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, ^(E)that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, ⁴⁷ and that all this assembly may know that ^(F)the Lord saves not with sword and spear. ^(G)For the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hand.”

⁴⁸ When the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.
