I know{H3045}{(H8804)} thy pride{H2087}, and the naughtiness{H7455} of thine heart{H3824}; for thou art come down{H3381}{(H8804)} that thou mightest see{H7200}{(H8800)} the battle{H4421}.
1 Samuel 17:29
And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)}, What have I now done{H6213}{(H8804)}? Is there not a cause{H1697}?
1 Samuel 17:30
And he turned{H5437}{(H8735)} from him{H681} toward{H4136} another{H312}, and spake{H559}{(H8799)} after the same manner{H1697}: and the people{H5971} answered{H1697} him again{H7725}{(H8686)} after the former{H7223} manner{H1697}.
1 Samuel 17:31
And when the words{H1697} were heard{H8085}{(H8735)} which David{H1732} spake{H1696}{(H8765)}, they rehearsed{H5046}{(H8686)} them before{H6440} Saul{H7586}: and he sent{H3947}{(H8799)} for him.
1 Samuel 17:32
And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} to Saul{H7586}, Let no man's{H120} heart{H3820} fail{H5307}{(H8799)} because of him; thy servant{H5650} will go{H3212}{(H8799)} and fight{H3898}{(H8738)} with this Philistine{H6430}.
1 Samuel 17:33
And Saul{H7586} said{H559}{(H8799)} to David{H1732}, Thou art not able{H3201}{(H8799)} to go{H3212}{(H8800)} against this Philistine{H6430} to fight{H3898}{(H8736)} with him: for thou art but a youth{H5288}, and he a man{H376} of war{H4421} from his youth{H5271}.
1 Samuel 17:34
And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Saul{H7586}, Thy servant{H5650} kept{H7462}{(H8802)} his father's{H1} sheep{H6629}, and there came{H935}{(H8804)} a lion{H738}, and a bear{H1677}, and took{H5375}{(H8804)} a lamb{H7716}{(H8675)}{H2089} out of the flock{H5739}:
1 Samuel 17:35
And I went out{H3318}{(H8804)} after{H310} him, and smote{H5221}{(H8689)} him, and delivered{H5337}{(H8689)} it out of his mouth{H6310}: and when he arose{H6965}{(H8799)} against me, I caught{H2388}{(H8689)} him by his beard{H2206}, and smote{H5221}{(H8689)} him, and slew{H4191}{(H8689)} him.
1 Samuel 17:36
Thy servant{H5650} slew{H5221}{(H8689)} both the lion{H738} and the bear{H1677}: and this uncircumcised{H6189} Philistine{H6430} shall be as one{H259} of them, seeing he hath defied{H2778}{(H8765)} the armies{H4634} of the living{H2416} God{H430}.
1 Samuel 17:37
David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} moreover, The LORD{H3068} that delivered{H5337}{(H8689)} me out of the paw{H3027} of the lion{H738}, and out of the paw{H3027} of the bear{H1677}, he will deliver{H5337}{(H8686)} me out of the hand{H3027} of this Philistine{H6430}. And Saul{H7586} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto David{H1732}, Go{H3212}{(H8798)}, and the LORD{H3068} be with thee.
1 Samuel 17:38
And Saul{H7586} armed{H3847}{(H8686)} David{H1732} with his armour{H4055}, and he put{H5414}{(H8804)} an helmet{H6959} of brass{H5178} upon his head{H7218}; also he armed{H3847}{(H8686)} him with a coat of mail{H8302}.
1 Samuel 17:39
And David{H1732} girded{H2296}{(H8799)} his sword{H2719} upon his armour{H4055}, and he assayed{H2974}{(H8686)} to go{H3212}{(H8800)}; for he had not proved{H5254}{(H8765)} it. And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Saul{H7586}, I cannot{H3201}{(H8799)} go{H3212}{(H8800)} with these; for I have not proved{H5254}{(H8765)} them. And David{H1732} put{H5493}{(H8686)} them off him.
1 Samuel 17:40
And he took{H3947}{(H8799)} his staff{H4731} in his hand{H3027}, and chose{H977}{(H8799)} him five{H2568} smooth{H2512} stones{H68} out of the brook{H5158}, and put{H7760}{(H8799)} them in a shepherd's{H7462}{(H8802)} bag{H3627} which he had, even in a scrip{H3219}; and his sling{H7050} was in his hand{H3027}: and he drew near{H5066}{(H8799)} to the Philistine{H6430}.
1 Samuel 17:41
And the Philistine{H6430} came{H3212}{(H8799)} on{H1980}{(H8802)} and drew near{H7131} unto David{H1732}; and the man{H376} that bare{H5375}{(H8802)} the shield{H6793} went before{H6440} him.
1 Samuel 17:42
And when the Philistine{H6430} looked about{H5027}{(H8686)}, and saw{H7200}{(H8799)} David{H1732}, he disdained{H959}{(H8799)} him: for he was but a youth{H5288}, and ruddy{H132}, and of a fair{H3303} countenance{H4758}.
1 Samuel 17:43
And the Philistine{H6430} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto David{H1732}, Am I a dog{H3611}, that thou comest{H935}{(H8802)} to me with staves{H4731}? And the Philistine{H6430} cursed{H7043}{(H8762)} David{H1732} by his gods{H430}.
1 Samuel 17:44
And the Philistine{H6430} said{H559}{(H8799)} to David{H1732}, Come{H3212}{(H8798)} to me, and I will give{H5414}{(H8799)} thy flesh{H1320} unto the fowls{H5775} of the air{H8064}, and to the beasts{H929} of the field{H7704}.
1 Samuel 17:45
Then said{H559}{(H8799)} David{H1732} to the Philistine{H6430}, Thou comest{H935}{(H8802)} to me with a sword{H2719}, and with a spear{H2595}, and with a shield{H3591}: but I come{H935}{(H8802)} to thee in the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, the God{H430} of the armies{H4634} of Israel{H3478}, whom thou hast defied{H2778}{(H8765)}.
1 Samuel 17:46
This day{H3117} will the LORD{H3068} deliver{H5462}{(H8762)} thee into mine hand{H3027}; and I will smite{H5221}{(H8689)} thee, and take{H5493}{(H8689)} thine head{H7218} from thee; and I will give{H5414}{(H8804)} the carcases{H6297} of the host{H4264} of the Philistines{H6430} this day{H3117} unto the fowls{H5775} of the air{H8064}, and to the wild beasts{H2416} of the earth{H776}; that all the earth{H776} may know{H3045}{(H8799)} that there is{H3426} a God{H430} in Israel{H3478}.
1 Samuel 17:47
And all this assembly{H6951} shall know{H3045}{(H8799)} that the LORD{H3068} saveth{H3467}{(H8686)} not with sword{H2719} and spear{H2595}: for the battle{H4421} is the LORD'S{H3068}, and he will give{H5414}{(H8804)} you into our hands{H3027}.
1 Samuel 17:48
And it came to pass, when the Philistine{H6430} arose{H6965}{(H8804)}, and came{H3212}{(H8799)} and drew nigh{H7126}{(H8799)} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} David{H1732}, that David{H1732} hasted{H4116}{(H8762)}, and ran{H7323}{(H8799)} toward the army{H4634} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} the Philistine{H6430}.
1 Samuel 17:49
And David{H1732} put{H7971}{(H8799)} his hand{H3027} in his bag{H3627}, and took{H3947}{(H8799)} thence a stone{H68}, and slang{H7049}{(H8762)} it, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the Philistine{H6430} in his forehead{H4696}, that the stone{H68} sunk{H2883}{(H8799)} into his forehead{H4696}; and he fell{H5307}{(H8799)} upon his face{H6440} to the earth{H776}.
1 Samuel 17:50
So David{H1732} prevailed{H2388}{(H8799)} over{H4480} the Philistine{H6430} with a sling{H7050} and with a stone{H68}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the Philistine{H6430}, and slew{H4191}{(H8686)} him; but there was no sword{H2719} in the hand{H3027} of David{H1732}.
1 Samuel 17:51
Therefore David{H1732} ran{H7323}{(H8799)}, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} upon the Philistine{H6430}, and took{H3947}{(H8799)} his sword{H2719}, and drew{H8025}{(H8799)} it out of the sheath{H8593} thereof, and slew{H4191}{(H8787)} him, and cut off{H3772}{(H8799)} his head{H7218} therewith. And when the Philistines{H6430} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} their champion{H1368} was dead{H4191}{(H8804)}, they fled{H5127}{(H8799)}.

And the men{H582} of Israel{H3478} and of Judah{H3063} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and shouted{H7321}{(H8686)}, and pursued{H7291}{(H8799)} the Philistines{H6430}, until thou come{H935}{(H8800)} to the valley{H1516}, and to the gates{H8179} of Ekron{H6138}. And the wounded{H2491} of the Philistines{H6430} fell down{H5307}{(H8799)} by the way{H1870} to Shaaraim{H8189}, even unto Gath{H1661}, and unto Ekron{H6138}.
