37

Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 moreover, The LORDh3068 that deliveredh5337h8689 me out of the pawh3027 of the lionh738, and out of the pawh3027 of the bearh1677, he will deliverh5337h8686 me out of the handh3027 of this Philistineh6430.

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 unto Saulh7586, I cannoth3201h8799 goh3212h8800 with these; for I have not provedh5254h8765 them . And Davidh1732 puth5493h8686 them off him.

40

And he tookh3947h8799 his staffh4731 in his handh3027, and choseh977h8799 him fiveh2568 smoothh2512 stonesh68 out of the brookh5158, and puth7760h8799 them in a shepherd'sh7462h8802 bagh3627 which he had, even in a scriph3219; and his slingh7050 was in his handh3027: and he drew nearh5066h8799 to the Philistineh6430. brook: or, valley

And the Philistineh6430 cameh3212h8799 onh1980h8802 and drew nearh7131 unto Davidh1732; and the manh376 that bareh5375h8802 the shieldh6793 went beforeh6440 him.

42

And when the Philistineh6430 looked abouth5027h8686, and sawh7200h8799 Davidh1732, he disdainedh959h8799 him: for he was but a youthh5288, and ruddyh132, and of a fairh3303 countenanceh4758.

43

And the Philistineh6430 saidh559h8799 unto Davidh1732, Am I a dogh3611, that thou comesth935h8802 to me with stavesh4731? And the Philistineh6430 cursedh7043h8762 Davidh1732 by his godsh430.

44

And the Philistineh6430 saidh559h8799 to Davidh1732, Comeh3212h8798 to me, and I will giveh5414h8799 thy fleshh1320 unto the fowlsh5775 of the airh8064, and to the beastsh929 of the fieldh7704.

45

Then saidh559h8799 Davidh1732 to the Philistineh6430, Thou comesth935h8802 to me with a swordh2719, and with a spearh2595, and with a shieldh3591: but I comeh935h8802 to thee in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of the armiesh4634 of Israelh3478, whom thou hast defiedh2778h8765.

46

This dayh3117 will the LORDh3068 deliverh5462h8762 thee into mine handh3027; and I will smiteh5221h8689 thee, and takeh5493h8689 thine headh7218 from thee; and I will giveh5414h8804 the carcasesh6297 of the hosth4264 of the Philistinesh6430 this dayh3117 unto the fowlsh5775 of the airh8064, and to the wild beastsh2416 of the earthh776; that all the earthh776 may knowh3045h8799 that there ish3426 a Godh430 in Israelh3478. deliver...: Heb. shut thee up

47

And all this assemblyh6951 shall knowh3045h8799 that the LORDh3068 savethh3467h8686 not with swordh2719 and spearh2595: for the battleh4421 is the LORD'Sh3068, and he will giveh5414h8804 you into our handsh3027.

48

And it came to pass, when the Philistineh6430 aroseh6965h8804, and cameh3212h8799 and drew nighh7126h8799 to meeth7125h8800 Davidh1732, that Davidh1732 hastedh4116h8762, and ranh7323h8799 toward the armyh4634 to meeth7125h8800 the Philistineh6430.

49

And Davidh1732 puth7971h8799 his handh3027 in his bagh3627, and tookh3947h8799 thence a stoneh68, and slangh7049h8762 it , and smoteh5221h8686 the Philistineh6430 in his foreheadh4696, that the stoneh68 sunkh2883h8799 into his foreheadh4696; and he fellh5307h8799 upon his faceh6440 to the earthh776.

50

So Davidh1732 prevailedh2388h8799 overh4480 the Philistineh6430 with a slingh7050 and with a stoneh68, and smoteh5221h8686 the Philistineh6430, and slewh4191h8686 him; but there was no swordh2719 in the handh3027 of Davidh1732.

51

Therefore Davidh1732 ranh7323h8799, and stoodh5975h8799 upon the Philistineh6430, and tookh3947h8799 his swordh2719, and drewh8025h8799 it out of the sheathh8593 thereof, and slewh4191h8787 him, and cut offh3772h8799 his headh7218 therewith. And when the Philistinesh6430 sawh7200h8799 their championh1368 was deadh4191h8804, they fledh5127h8799.

52

And the menh582 of Israelh3478 and of Judahh3063 aroseh6965h8799, and shoutedh7321h8686, and pursuedh7291h8799 the Philistinesh6430, until thou comeh935h8800 to the valleyh1516, and to the gatesh8179 of Ekronh6138. And the woundedh2491 of the Philistinesh6430 fell downh5307h8799 by the wayh1870 to Shaaraimh8189, even unto Gathh1661, and unto Ekronh6138.

53

And the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 returnedh7725h8799 from chasingh1814h8800 afterh310 the Philistinesh6430, and they spoiledh8155h8799 their tentsh4264.

54

And Davidh1732 tookh3947h8799 the headh7218 of the Philistineh6430, and broughth935h8686 it to Jerusalemh3389; but he puth7760h8804 his armourh3627 in his tenth168.

55

And when Saulh7586 sawh7200h8800 Davidh1732 go forthh3318h8802 againsth7125h8800 the Philistineh6430, he saidh559h8804 unto Abnerh74, the captainh8269 of the hosth6635, Abnerh74, whose sonh1121 is this youthh5288? And Abnerh74 saidh559h8799, As thy soulh5315 livethh2416, O kingh4428, I cannoth518 tellh3045h8804.

56

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799, Enquireh7592h8798 thou whose sonh1121 the striplingh5958 is .

57

And as Davidh1732 returnedh7725h8800 from the slaughterh5221h8687 of the Philistineh6430, Abnerh74 tookh3947h8799 him, and broughth935h8686 him beforeh6440 Saulh7586 with the headh7218 of the Philistineh6430 in his handh3027.

58

And Saulh7586 saidh559h8799 to him, Whose sonh1121 art thou, thou young manh5288? And Davidh1732 answeredh559h8799, I am the sonh1121 of thy servanth5650 Jesseh3448 the Bethlehemiteh1022.
