1 Samuel 17:1-12

Now the Philistines
<06430>

gathered together
<0622> (8799)

their armies
<04264>

to battle
<04421>_,

and were gathered together
<0622> (8735)

at Shochoh
<07755>_,

which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

between Shochoh
<07755>

and Azekah
<05825>_,

in Ephesdammim
<0658>_.

{Ephesdammim: or, the coast of Dammim, called Pasdammim}

And Saul
<07586>

and the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

were gathered together
<0622> (8738)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

by the valley
<06010>

of Elah
<0425>_,

and set the battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

the Philistines
<06430>_.

{set...: Heb. ranged the battle}

And the Philistines
<06430>

stood
<05975> (8802)

on a mountain
<02022>

on the one side, and Israel
<03478>

stood
<05975> (8802)

on a mountain
<02022>

on the other side: and [there was] a valley
<01516>

between them.

And there went out
<03318> (8799)

a champion
<0376> <01143>

out of the camp
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

named
<08034>

Goliath
<01555>_,

of Gath
<01661>_,

whose height
<01363>

[was] six
<08337>

cubits
<0520>

and a span
<02239>_.

And [he had] an helmet
<03553>

of brass
<05178>

upon his head
<07218>_,

and he [was] armed
<03847> (8803)

with a coat
<08302>

of mail
<07193>_;

and the weight
<04948>

of the coat
<08302>

[was] five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

shekels
<08255>

of brass
<05178>_.

{armed: Heb. clothed}

And [he had] greaves
<04697>

of brass
<05178>

upon his legs
<07272>_,

and a target
<03591>

of brass
<05178>

between his shoulders
<03802>_.

{target: or, gorget}

And the staff
<06086> (8675) <02671>

of his spear
<02595>

[was] like a weaver's
<0707> (8802)

beam
<04500>_;

and his spear's
<02595>

head
<03852>

[weighed] six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of iron
<01270>_:

and one bearing
<05375> (8802)

a shield
<06793>

went
<01980> (8802)

before
<06440>

him.

And he stood
<05975> (8799)

and cried
<07121> (8799)

unto the armies
<04634>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Why are ye come out
<03318> (8799)

to set [your] battle
<04421>

in array
<06186> (8800)_?

[am] not I a Philistine
<06430>_,

and ye servants
<05650>

to Saul
<07586>_?

choose
<01262> (8798)

you a man
<0376>

for you, and let him come down
<03381> (8799)

to me.

If he be able
<03201> (8799)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with me, and to kill
<05221> (8689)

me, then will we be your servants
<05650>_:

but if I prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, and kill
<05221> (8689)

him, then shall ye be our servants
<05650>_,

and serve
<05647> (8804)

us.

And the Philistine
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I defy
<02778> (8765)

the armies
<04634>

of Israel
<03478>

this day
<03117>_;

give
<05414> (8798)

me a man
<0376>_,

that we may fight
<03898> (8735)

together
<03162>_.

When Saul
<07586>

and all Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

those words
<01697>

of the Philistine
<06430>_,

they were dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,

and greatly
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

Now David
<01732>

[was] the son
<01121>

of that Ephrathite
<0376> <0673>

of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Jesse
<03448>_;

and he had eight
<08083>

sons
<01121>_:

and the man
<0376>

went
<0935> (8804)

among men
<0582>

[for] an old man
<02204> (8804)

in the days
<03117>

of Saul
<07586>_.
