1 Samuel 17:1-58

KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H6430 Now the Philistines H622 gathered together [H8799]   H4264 their armies H4421 to battle H622 , and were gathered together [H8735]   H7755 at Shochoh H3063 , which belongeth to Judah H2583 , and pitched [H8799]   H7755 between Shochoh H5825 and Azekah H658 , in Ephesdammim.
  2 H7586 And Saul H376 and the men H3478 of Israel H622 were gathered together [H8738]   H2583 , and pitched [H8799]   H6010 by the valley H425 of Elah H4421 , and set the battle H6186 in array [H8799]   H7125 against [H8800]   H6430 the Philistines.
  3 H6430 And the Philistines H5975 stood [H8802]   H2022 on a mountain H3478 on the one side, and Israel H5975 stood [H8802]   H2022 on a mountain H1516 on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
  4 H3318 And there went out [H8799]   H376 a champion H1143   H4264 out of the camp H6430 of the Philistines H8034 , named H1555 Goliath H1661 , of Gath H1363 , whose height H8337 was six H520 cubits H2239 and a span.
  5 H3553 And he had an helmet H5178 of brass H7218 upon his head H3847 , and he was armed [H8803]   H8302 with a coat H7193 of mail H4948 ; and the weight H8302 of the coat H2568 was five H505 thousand H8255 shekels H5178 of brass.
  6 H4697 And he had greaves H5178 of brass H7272 upon his legs H3591 , and a target H5178 of brass H3802 between his shoulders.
  7 H6086 And the staff [H8675]   H2671   H2595 of his spear H707 was like a weaver's [H8802]   H4500 beam H2595 ; and his spear's H3852 head H8337 weighed six H3967 hundred H8255 shekels H1270 of iron H5375 : and one bearing [H8802]   H6793 a shield H1980 went [H8802]   H6440 before him.
  8 H5975 And he stood [H8799]   H7121 and cried [H8799]   H4634 unto the armies H3478 of Israel H559 , and said [H8799]   H3318 unto them, Why are ye come out [H8799]   H4421 to set your battle H6186 in array [H8800]   H6430 ? am not I a Philistine H5650 , and ye servants H7586 to Saul H1262 ? choose [H8798]   H376 you a man H3381 for you, and let him come down [H8799]   to me.
  9 H3201 If he be able [H8799]   H3898 to fight [H8736]   H5221 with me, and to kill [H8689]   H5650 me, then will we be your servants H3201 : but if I prevail [H8799]   H5221 against him, and kill [H8689]   H5650 him, then shall ye be our servants H5647 , and serve [H8804]   us.
  10 H6430 And the Philistine H559 said [H8799]   H2778 , I defy [H8765]   H4634 the armies H3478 of Israel H3117 this day H5414 ; give [H8798]   H376 me a man H3898 , that we may fight [H8735]   H3162 together.
  11 H7586 When Saul H3478 and all Israel H8085 heard [H8799]   H1697 those words H6430 of the Philistine H2865 , they were dismayed [H8735]   H3966 , and greatly H3372 afraid [H8799]  .
  12 H1732 Now David H1121 was the son H376 of that Ephrathite H673   H1035 of Bethlehemjudah H3063   H8034 , whose name H3448 was Jesse H8083 ; and he had eight H1121 sons H376 : and the man H935 went [H8804]   H582 among men H2204 for an old man [H8804]   H3117 in the days H7586 of Saul.
  13 H7969 And the three H1419 eldest H1121 sons H3448 of Jesse H3212 went [H8799]   H310 and followed H7586 Saul H4421 to the battle H8034 : and the names H7969 of his three H1121 sons H1980 that went [H8804]   H4421 to the battle H446 were Eliab H1060 the firstborn H4932 , and next H41 unto him Abinadab H7992 , and the third H8048 Shammah.
  14 H1732 And David H6996 was the youngest H7969 : and the three H1419 eldest H1980 followed [H8804]   H310   H7586 Saul.
  15 H1732 But David H1980 went [H8802]   H7725 and returned [H8802]   H7586 from Saul H7462 to feed [H8800]   H1 his father's H6629 sheep H1035 at Bethlehem.
  16 H6430 And the Philistine H5066 drew near [H8799]   H7925 morning [H8687]   H6150 and evening [H8687]   H3320 , and presented [H8691]   H705 himself forty H3117 days.
  17 H3448 And Jesse H559 said [H8799]   H1732 unto David H1121 his son H3947 , Take [H8798]   H251 now for thy brethren H374 an ephah H2088 of this H7039 parched H6235 corn, and these ten H3899 loaves H7323 , and run [H8685]   H4264 to the camp H251 to thy brethren;
  18 H935 And carry [H8686]   H6235 these ten H2461 cheeses H2757   H8269 unto the captain H505 of their thousand H6485 , and look [H8799]   H251 how thy brethren H7965 fare H3947 , and take [H8799]   H6161 their pledge.
  19 H7586 Now Saul H376 , and they, and all the men H3478 of Israel H6010 , were in the valley H425 of Elah H3898 , fighting [H8737]   H6430 with the Philistines.
  20 H1732 And David H7925 rose up early [H8686]   H1242 in the morning H5203 , and left [H8799]   H6629 the sheep H8104 with a keeper [H8802]   H5375 , and took [H8799]   H3212 , and went [H8799]   H3448 , as Jesse H6680 had commanded [H8765]   H935 him; and he came [H8799]   H4570 to the trench H2428 , as the host H3318 was going forth [H8802]   H4634 to the fight H7321 , and shouted [H8689]   H4421 for the battle.
  21 H3478 For Israel H6430 and the Philistines H6186 had put the battle in array [H8799]   H4634 , army H7125 against [H8800]   H4634 army.
  22 H1732 And David H5203 left [H8799]   H3627 his carriage H3027 in the hand H8104 of the keeper [H8802]   H3627 of the carriage H7323 , and ran [H8799]   H4634 into the army H935 , and came [H8799]   H7592 and saluted [H8799]   H7965   H251 his brethren.
  23 H1696 And as he talked [H8764]   H5927 with them, behold, there came up [H8802]   H376 the champion H1143   H6430 , the Philistine H1661 of Gath H1555 , Goliath H8034 by name H4634 , out of the armies [H8675]   H4630   H6430 of the Philistines H1696 , and spake [H8762]   H428 according to the same H1697 words H1732 : and David H8085 heard [H8799]   them .
  24 H376 And all the men H3478 of Israel H7200 , when they saw [H8800]   H376 the man H5127 , fled [H8799]   H6440 from him H3966 , and were sore H3372 afraid [H8799]  .
  25 H376 And the men H3478 of Israel H559 said [H8799]   H7200 , Have ye seen [H8804]   H376 this man H5927 that is come up [H8802]   H2778 ? surely to defy [H8763]   H3478 Israel H5927 is he come up [H8802]   H376 : and it shall be, that the man H5221 who killeth [H8686]   H4428 him, the king H6238 will enrich [H8686]   H1419 him with great H6239 riches H5414 , and will give [H8799]   H1323 him his daughter H6213 , and make [H8799]   H1 his father's H1004 house H2670 free H3478 in Israel.
  26 H1732 And David H559 spake [H8799]   H582 to the men H5975 that stood [H8802]   H559 by him, saying [H8800]   H6213 , What shall be done [H8735]   H376 to the man H5221 that killeth [H8686]   H1975 this H6430 Philistine H5493 , and taketh away [H8689]   H2781 the reproach H3478 from Israel H6189 ? for who is this uncircumcised H6430 Philistine H2778 , that he should defy [H8765]   H4634 the armies H2416 of the living H430 God?
  27 H5971 And the people H559 answered [H8799]   H1697 him after this manner H559 , saying [H8800]   H6213 , So shall it be done [H8735]   H376 to the man H5221 that killeth [H8686]   him.
  28 H446 And Eliab H1419 his eldest H251 brother H8085 heard [H8799]   H1696 when he spake [H8763]   H582 unto the men H446 ; and Eliab's H639 anger H2734 was kindled [H8799]   H1732 against David H559 , and he said [H8799]   H3381 , Why camest thou down [H8804]   H5203 hither? and with whom hast thou left [H8804]   H2007 those H4592 few H6629 sheep H4057 in the wilderness H3045 ? I know [H8804]   H2087 thy pride H7455 , and the naughtiness H3824 of thine heart H3381 ; for thou art come down [H8804]   H7200 that thou mightest see [H8800]   H4421 the battle.
  29 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H6213 , What have I now done [H8804]   H1697 ? Is there not a cause?
  30 H5437 And he turned [H8735]   H681 from him H4136 toward H312 another H559 , and spake [H8799]   H1697 after the same manner H5971 : and the people H1697 answered H7725 him again [H8686]   H7223 after the former H1697 manner.
  31 H1697 And when the words H8085 were heard [H8735]   H1732 which David H1696 spake [H8765]   H5046 , they rehearsed [H8686]   H6440 them before H7586 Saul H3947 : and he sent [H8799]   for him.
  32 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H7586 to Saul H120 , Let no man's H3820 heart H5307 fail [H8799]   H5650 because of him; thy servant H3212 will go [H8799]   H3898 and fight [H8738]   H6430 with this Philistine.
  33 H7586 And Saul H559 said [H8799]   H1732 to David H3201 , Thou art not able [H8799]   H3212 to go [H8800]   H6430 against this Philistine H3898 to fight [H8736]   H5288 with him: for thou art but a youth H376 , and he a man H4421 of war H5271 from his youth.
  34 H1732 And David H559 said [H8799]   H7586 unto Saul H5650 , Thy servant H7462 kept [H8802]   H1 his father's H6629 sheep H935 , and there came [H8804]   H738 a lion H1677 , and a bear H5375 , and took [H8804]   H7716 a lamb [H8675]   H2089   H5739 out of the flock:
  35 H3318 And I went out [H8804]   H310 after H5221 him, and smote [H8689]   H5337 him, and delivered [H8689]   H6310 it out of his mouth H6965 : and when he arose [H8799]   H2388 against me, I caught [H8689]   H2206 him by his beard H5221 , and smote [H8689]   H4191 him, and slew [H8689]   him.
  36 H5650 Thy servant H5221 slew [H8689]   H738 both the lion H1677 and the bear H6189 : and this uncircumcised H6430 Philistine H259 shall be as one H2778 of them, seeing he hath defied [H8765]   H4634 the armies H2416 of the living H430 God.
  37 H1732 David H559 said [H8799]   H3068 moreover, The LORD H5337 that delivered [H8689]   H3027 me out of the paw H738 of the lion H3027 , and out of the paw H1677 of the bear H5337 , he will deliver [H8686]   H3027 me out of the hand H6430 of this Philistine H7586 . And Saul H559 said [H8799]   H1732 unto David H3212 , Go [H8798]   H3068 , and the LORD be with thee.
  38 H7586 And Saul H3847 armed [H8686]   H1732 David H4055 with his armour H5414 , and he put [H8804]   H6959 an helmet H5178 of brass H7218 upon his head H3847 ; also he armed [H8686]   H8302 him with a coat of mail.
  39 H1732 And David H2296 girded [H8799]   H2719 his sword H4055 upon his armour H2974 , and he assayed [H8686]   H3212 to go [H8800]   H5254 ; for he had not proved [H8765]   H1732 it . And David H559 said [H8799]   H7586 unto Saul H3201 , I cannot [H8799]   H3212 go [H8800]   H5254 with these; for I have not proved [H8765]   H1732 them . And David H5493 put [H8686]   them off him.
  40 H3947 And he took [H8799]   H4731 his staff H3027 in his hand H977 , and chose [H8799]   H2568 him five H2512 smooth H68 stones H5158 out of the brook H7760 , and put [H8799]   H7462 them in a shepherd's [H8802]   H3627 bag H3219 which he had, even in a scrip H7050 ; and his sling H3027 was in his hand H5066 : and he drew near [H8799]   H6430 to the Philistine.
  41 H6430 And the Philistine H3212 came [H8799]   H1980 on [H8802]   H7131 and drew near H1732 unto David H376 ; and the man H5375 that bare [H8802]   H6793 the shield H6440 went before him.
  42 H6430 And when the Philistine H5027 looked about [H8686]   H7200 , and saw [H8799]   H1732 David H959 , he disdained [H8799]   H5288 him: for he was but a youth H132 , and ruddy H3303 , and of a fair H4758 countenance.
  43 H6430 And the Philistine H559 said [H8799]   H1732 unto David H3611 , Am I a dog H935 , that thou comest [H8802]   H4731 to me with staves H6430 ? And the Philistine H7043 cursed [H8762]   H1732 David H430 by his gods.
  44 H6430 And the Philistine H559 said [H8799]   H1732 to David H3212 , Come [H8798]   H5414 to me, and I will give [H8799]   H1320 thy flesh H5775 unto the fowls H8064 of the air H929 , and to the beasts H7704 of the field.
  45 H559 Then said [H8799]   H1732 David H6430 to the Philistine H935 , Thou comest [H8802]   H2719 to me with a sword H2595 , and with a spear H3591 , and with a shield H935 : but I come [H8802]   H8034 to thee in the name H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H4634 of the armies H3478 of Israel H2778 , whom thou hast defied [H8765]  .
  46 H3117 This day H3068 will the LORD H5462 deliver [H8762]   H3027 thee into mine hand H5221 ; and I will smite [H8689]   H5493 thee, and take [H8689]   H7218 thine head H5414 from thee; and I will give [H8804]   H6297 the carcases H4264 of the host H6430 of the Philistines H3117 this day H5775 unto the fowls H8064 of the air H2416 , and to the wild beasts H776 of the earth H776 ; that all the earth H3045 may know [H8799]   H3426 that there is H430 a God H3478 in Israel.
  47 H6951 And all this assembly H3045 shall know [H8799]   H3068 that the LORD H3467 saveth [H8686]   H2719 not with sword H2595 and spear H4421 : for the battle H3068 is the LORD'S H5414 , and he will give [H8804]   H3027 you into our hands.
  48 H6430 And it came to pass, when the Philistine H6965 arose [H8804]   H3212 , and came [H8799]   H7126 and drew nigh [H8799]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H1732 David H1732 , that David H4116 hasted [H8762]   H7323 , and ran [H8799]   H4634 toward the army H7125 to meet [H8800]   H6430 the Philistine.
  49 H1732 And David H7971 put [H8799]   H3027 his hand H3627 in his bag H3947 , and took [H8799]   H68 thence a stone H7049 , and slang [H8762]   H5221 it, and smote [H8686]   H6430 the Philistine H4696 in his forehead H68 , that the stone H2883 sunk [H8799]   H4696 into his forehead H5307 ; and he fell [H8799]   H6440 upon his face H776 to the earth.
  50 H1732 So David H2388 prevailed [H8799]   H4480 over H6430 the Philistine H7050 with a sling H68 and with a stone H5221 , and smote [H8686]   H6430 the Philistine H4191 , and slew [H8686]   H2719 him; but there was no sword H3027 in the hand H1732 of David.
  51 H1732 Therefore David H7323 ran [H8799]   H5975 , and stood [H8799]   H6430 upon the Philistine H3947 , and took [H8799]   H2719 his sword H8025 , and drew [H8799]   H8593 it out of the sheath H4191 thereof, and slew [H8787]   H3772 him, and cut off [H8799]   H7218 his head H6430 therewith. And when the Philistines H7200 saw [H8799]   H1368 their champion H4191 was dead [H8804]   H5127 , they fled [H8799]  .
  52 H582 And the men H3478 of Israel H3063 and of Judah H6965 arose [H8799]   H7321 , and shouted [H8686]   H7291 , and pursued [H8799]   H6430 the Philistines H935 , until thou come [H8800]   H1516 to the valley H8179 , and to the gates H6138 of Ekron H2491 . And the wounded H6430 of the Philistines H5307 fell down [H8799]   H1870 by the way H8189 to Shaaraim H1661 , even unto Gath H6138 , and unto Ekron.
  53 H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H7725 returned [H8799]   H1814 from chasing [H8800]   H310 after H6430 the Philistines H8155 , and they spoiled [H8799]   H4264 their tents.
  54 H1732 And David H3947 took [H8799]   H7218 the head H6430 of the Philistine H935 , and brought [H8686]   H3389 it to Jerusalem H7760 ; but he put [H8804]   H3627 his armour H168 in his tent.
  55 H7586 And when Saul H7200 saw [H8800]   H1732 David H3318 go forth [H8802]   H7125 against [H8800]   H6430 the Philistine H559 , he said [H8804]   H74 unto Abner H8269 , the captain H6635 of the host H74 , Abner H1121 , whose son H5288 is this youth H74 ? And Abner H559 said [H8799]   H5315 , As thy soul H2416 liveth H4428 , O king H518 , I cannot H3045 tell [H8804]  .
  56 H4428 And the king H559 said [H8799]   H7592 , Enquire [H8798]   H1121 thou whose son H5958 the stripling is .
  57 H1732 And as David H7725 returned [H8800]   H5221 from the slaughter [H8687]   H6430 of the Philistine H74 , Abner H3947 took [H8799]   H935 him, and brought [H8686]   H6440 him before H7586 Saul H7218 with the head H6430 of the Philistine H3027 in his hand.
  58 H7586 And Saul H559 said [H8799]   H1121 to him, Whose son H5288 art thou, thou young man H1732 ? And David H559 answered [H8799]   H1121 , I am the son H5650 of thy servant H3448 Jesse H1022 the Bethlehemite.
