1 # 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>.
2 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>.
3 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.
4 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>.
5 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>.
6 And he had greaves <04697> of brass <05178> upon his legs <07272>, and a target <03591> of brass <05178> between his shoulders <03802>.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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> .
11 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).
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>.
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>.
14 And David <01732> was the youngest <06996>: and the three <07969> eldest <01419> followed <01980> (8804) <0310> Saul <07586>.
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>.
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 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>;
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>.
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>.
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>.
21 For Israel <03478> and the Philistines <06430> had put the battle in array <06186> (8799), army <04634> against <07125> (8800) army <04634>.
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>.
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.
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).
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>.
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> ?
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.
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> .
29 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799), What have I now done <06213> (8804)? Is there not a cause <01697>?
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>.
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.
32 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) to Saul <07586>, Let no man's <0120> heart <03820> fail <05307> (8799) because of him; thy servant <05650> will go <03212> (8799) and fight <03898> (8738) with this Philistine <06430>.
33 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799) to David <01732>, Thou art not able <03201> (8799) to go <03212> (8800) against this Philistine <06430> to fight <03898> (8736) with him: for thou art but a youth <05288>, and he a man <0376> of war <04421> from his youth <05271>.
34 And David <01732> said <0559> (8799) unto Saul <07586>, Thy servant <05650> kept <07462> (8802) his father's <01> sheep <06629>, and there came <0935> (8804) a lion <0738>, and a bear <01677>, and took <05375> (8804) a lamb <07716> (8675) <02089> out of the flock <05739>:
35 And I went out <03318> (8804) after <0310> him, and smote <05221> (8689) him, and delivered <05337> (8689) it out of his mouth <06310>: and when he arose <06965> (8799) against me, I caught <02388> (8689) him by his beard <02206>, and smote <05221> (8689) him, and slew <04191> (8689) him.
36 Thy servant <05650> slew <05221> (8689) both the lion <0738> and the bear <01677>: and this uncircumcised <06189> Philistine <06430> shall be as one <0259> of them, seeing he hath defied <02778> (8765) the armies <04634> of the living <02416> God <0430>.
37 David <01732> said <0559> (8799) moreover, The LORD <03068> that delivered <05337> (8689) me out of the paw <03027> of the lion <0738>, and out of the paw <03027> of the bear <01677>, he will deliver <05337> (8686) me out of the hand <03027> of this Philistine <06430>. And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799) unto David <01732>, Go <03212> (8798), and the LORD <03068> be with thee.
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> .
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.

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>.

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.
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> .
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>.
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>.
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).
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>.
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>.
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>.
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>.
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>.
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
