1 Samuel 17:38-54

17:38

And Saul
<07586>

armed
<03847> (8686)

David
<01732>

with his armour
<04055>_,

and he put
<05414> (8804)

an helmet
<06959>

of brass
<05178>

upon his head
<07218>_;

also he armed
<03847> (8686)

him with a coat of mail
<08302>_.

{armed David...: Heb. clothed David with his clothes}

17:39

And David
<01732>

girded
<02296> (8799)

his sword
<02719>

upon his armour
<04055>_,

and he assayed
<02974> (8686)

to go
<03212> (8800)_;

for he had not proved
<05254> (8765)

[it]. And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Saul
<07586>_,

I cannot
<03201> (8799)

go
<03212> (8800)

with these; for I have not proved
<05254> (8765)

[them]. And David
<01732>

put
<05493> (8686)

them off him.

17:40

And he took
<03947> (8799)

his staff
<04731>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and chose
<0977> (8799)

him five
<02568>

smooth
<02512>

stones
<068>

out of the brook
<05158>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

them in a shepherd's
<07462> (8802)

bag
<03627>

which he had, even in a scrip
<03219>_;

and his sling
<07050>

[was] in his hand
<03027>_:

and he drew near
<05066> (8799)

to the Philistine
<06430>_.

{brook: or, valley} {bag: Heb. vessel}

17:41

And the Philistine
<06430>

came
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8802)

and drew near
<07131>

unto David
<01732>_;

and the man
<0376>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the shield
<06793>

[went] before
<06440>

him.

17:42

And when the Philistine
<06430>

looked about
<05027> (8686)_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

he disdained
<0959> (8799)

him: for he was [but] a youth
<05288>_,

and ruddy
<0132>_,

and of a fair
<03303>

countenance
<04758>_.

17:43

And the Philistine
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

[Am] I a dog
<03611>_,

that thou comest
<0935> (8802)

to me with staves
<04731>_?

And the Philistine
<06430>

cursed
<07043> (8762)

David
<01732>

by his gods
<0430>_.

17:44

And the Philistine
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)

to David
<01732>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)

to me, and I will give
<05414> (8799)

thy flesh
<01320>

unto the fowls
<05775>

of the air
<08064>_,

and to the beasts
<0929>

of the field
<07704>_.

17:45

Then said
<0559> (8799)

David
<01732>

to the Philistine
<06430>_,

Thou comest
<0935> (8802)

to me with a sword
<02719>_,

and with a spear
<02595>_,

and with a shield
<03591>_:

but I come
<0935> (8802)

to thee in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of the armies
<04634>

of Israel
<03478>_,

whom thou hast defied
<02778> (8765)_.

17:46

This day
<03117>

will the LORD
<03068>

deliver
<05462> (8762)

thee into mine hand
<03027>_;

and I will smite
<05221> (8689)

thee, and take
<05493> (8689)

thine head
<07218>

from thee; and I will give
<05414> (8804)

the carcases
<06297>

of the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>

this day
<03117>

unto the fowls
<05775>

of the air
<08064>_,

and to the wild beasts
<02416>

of the earth
<0776>_;

that all the earth
<0776>

may know
<03045> (8799)

that there is
<03426>

a God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>_.

{deliver...: Heb. shut thee up}

17:47

And all this assembly
<06951>

shall know
<03045> (8799)

that the LORD
<03068>

saveth
<03467> (8686)

not with sword
<02719>

and spear
<02595>_:

for the battle
<04421>

[is] the LORD'S
<03068>_,

and he will give
<05414> (8804)

you into our hands
<03027>_.

17:48

And it came to pass, when the Philistine
<06430>

arose
<06965> (8804)_,

and came
<03212> (8799)

and drew nigh
<07126> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

David
<01732>_,

that David
<01732>

hasted
<04116> (8762)_,

and ran
<07323> (8799)

toward the army
<04634>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

the Philistine
<06430>_.

17:49

And David
<01732>

put
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

in his bag
<03627>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

thence a stone
<068>_,

and slang
<07049> (8762)

[it], and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistine
<06430>

in his forehead
<04696>_,

that the stone
<068>

sunk
<02883> (8799)

into his forehead
<04696>_;

and he fell
<05307> (8799)

upon his face
<06440>

to the earth
<0776>_.

17:50

So David
<01732>

prevailed
<02388> (8799)

over
<04480>

the Philistine
<06430>

with a sling
<07050>

and with a stone
<068>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Philistine
<06430>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

him; but [there was] no sword
<02719>

in the hand
<03027>

of David
<01732>_.

17:51

Therefore David
<01732>

ran
<07323> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

upon the Philistine
<06430>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

his sword
<02719>_,

and drew
<08025> (8799)

it out of the sheath
<08593>

thereof, and slew
<04191> (8787)

him, and cut off
<03772> (8799)

his head
<07218>

therewith. And when the Philistines
<06430>

saw
<07200> (8799)

their champion
<01368>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

they fled
<05127> (8799)_.

17:52

And the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>

and of Judah
<03063>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and shouted
<07321> (8686)_,

and pursued
<07291> (8799)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

until thou come
<0935> (8800)

to the valley
<01516>_,

and to the gates
<08179>

of Ekron
<06138>_.

And the wounded
<02491>

of the Philistines
<06430>

fell down
<05307> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

to Shaaraim
<08189>_,

even unto Gath
<01661>_,

and unto Ekron
<06138>_.

17:53

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

returned
<07725> (8799)

from chasing
<01814> (8800)

after
<0310>

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and they spoiled
<08155> (8799)

their tents
<04264>_.

17:54

And David
<01732>

took
<03947> (8799)

the head
<07218>

of the Philistine
<06430>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

it to Jerusalem
<03389>_;

but he put
<07760> (8804)

his armour
<03627>

in his tent
<0168>_.
