17:12

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>_.

17:13

And the three
<07969>

eldest
<01419>

sons
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

went
<03212> (8799)

[and] followed
<0310>

Saul
<07586>

to the battle
<04421>_:

and the names
<08034>

of his three
<07969>

sons
<01121>

that went
<01980> (8804)

to the battle
<04421>

[were] Eliab
<0446>

the firstborn
<01060>_,

and next
<04932>

unto him Abinadab
<041>_,

and the third
<07992>

Shammah
<08048>_.

17:14

And David
<01732>

[was] the youngest
<06996>_:

and the three
<07969>

eldest
<01419>

followed
<01980> (8804) <0310>

Saul
<07586>_.

17:15

But David
<01732>

went
<01980> (8802)

and returned
<07725> (8802)

from Saul
<07586>

to feed
<07462> (8800)

his father's
<01>

sheep
<06629>

at Bethlehem
<01035>_.

17:16

And the Philistine
<06430>

drew near
<05066> (8799)

morning
<07925> (8687)

and evening
<06150> (8687)_,

and presented
<03320> (8691)

himself forty
<0705>

days
<03117>_.

17:17

And Jesse
<03448>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>

his son
<01121>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

now for thy brethren
<0251>

an ephah
<0374>

of this
<02088>

parched
<07039>

[corn], and these ten
<06235>

loaves
<03899>_,

and run
<07323> (8685)

to the camp
<04264>

to thy brethren
<0251>_;

17:18

And carry
<0935> (8686)

these ten
<06235>

cheeses
<02461> <02757>

unto the captain
<08269>

of [their] thousand
<0505>_,

and look
<06485> (8799)

how thy brethren
<0251>

fare
<07965>_,

and take
<03947> (8799)

their pledge
<06161>_.

{cheeses: Heb. cheeses of milk} {of...: Heb. of a thousand}

17:19

Now Saul
<07586>_,

and they, and all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[were] in the valley
<06010>

of Elah
<0425>_,

fighting
<03898> (8737)

with the Philistines
<06430>_.

17:20

And David
<01732>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and left
<05203> (8799)

the sheep
<06629>

with a keeper
<08104> (8802)_,

and took
<05375> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)_,

as Jesse
<03448>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

him; and he came
<0935> (8799)

to the trench
<04570>_,

as the host
<02428>

was going forth
<03318> (8802)

to the fight
<04634>_,

and shouted
<07321> (8689)

for the battle
<04421>_.

{trench: or, place of the carriage} {fight: or, battle array, or, place of fight}

17:21

For Israel
<03478>

and the Philistines
<06430>

had put the battle in array
<06186> (8799)_,

army
<04634>

against
<07125> (8800)

army
<04634>_.

17:22

And David
<01732>

left
<05203> (8799)

his carriage
<03627>

in the hand
<03027>

of the keeper
<08104> (8802)

of the carriage
<03627>_,

and ran
<07323> (8799)

into the army
<04634>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and saluted
<07592> (8799) <07965>

his brethren
<0251>_.

{his carriage: Heb. the vessels from upon him} {saluted...: Heb. asked his brethren of peace}

17:23

And as he talked
<01696> (8764)

with them, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)

the champion
<0376> <01143>_,

the Philistine
<06430>

of Gath
<01661>_,

Goliath
<01555>

by name
<08034>_,

out of the armies
<04634> (8675) <04630>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

according to the same
<0428>

words
<01697>_:

and David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[them].

17:24

And all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

when they saw
<07200> (8800)

the man
<0376>_,

fled
<05127> (8799)

from him
<06440>_,

and were sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

{from...: Heb. from his face}

17:25

And the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Have ye seen
<07200> (8804)

this man
<0376>

that is come up
<05927> (8802)_?

surely to defy
<02778> (8763)

Israel
<03478>

is he come up
<05927> (8802)_:

and it shall be, [that] the man
<0376>

who killeth
<05221> (8686)

him, the king
<04428>

will enrich
<06238> (8686)

him with great
<01419>

riches
<06239>_,

and will give
<05414> (8799)

him his daughter
<01323>_,

and make
<06213> (8799)

his father's
<01>

house
<01004>

free
<02670>

in Israel
<03478>_.

17:26

And David
<01732>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to the men
<0582>

that stood
<05975> (8802)

by him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What shall be done
<06213> (8735)

to the man
<0376>

that killeth
<05221> (8686)

this
<01975>

Philistine
<06430>_,

and taketh away
<05493> (8689)

the reproach
<02781>

from Israel
<03478>_?

for who [is] this uncircumcised
<06189>

Philistine
<06430>_,

that he should defy
<02778> (8765)

the armies
<04634>

of the living
<02416>

God
<0430>_?

17:27

And the people
<05971>

answered
<0559> (8799)

him after this manner
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

So shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

to the man
<0376>

that killeth
<05221> (8686)

him.

17:28

And Eliab
<0446>

his eldest
<01419>

brother
<0251>

heard
<08085> (8799)

when he spake
<01696> (8763)

unto the men
<0582>_;

and Eliab's
<0446>

anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against David
<01732>_,

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why camest thou down
<03381> (8804)

hither? and with whom hast thou left
<05203> (8804)

those
<02007>

few
<04592>

sheep
<06629>

in the wilderness
<04057>_?

I know
<03045> (8804)

thy pride
<02087>_,

and the naughtiness
<07455>

of thine heart
<03824>_;

for thou art come down
<03381> (8804)

that thou mightest see
<07200> (8800)

the battle
<04421>_.

17:29

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What have I now done
<06213> (8804)_?

[Is there] not a cause
<01697>_?

17:30

And he turned
<05437> (8735)

from him
<0681>

toward
<04136>

another
<0312>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

after the same manner
<01697>_:

and the people
<05971>

answered
<01697>

him again
<07725> (8686)

after the former
<07223>

manner
<01697>_.

{manner: Heb. word}

17:31

And when the words
<01697>

were heard
<08085> (8735)

which David
<01732>

spake
<01696> (8765)_,

they rehearsed
<05046> (8686)

[them] before
<06440>

Saul
<07586>_:

and he sent
<03947> (8799)

for him. {sent...: Heb. took him}
