1 H6430 Now the Philistines H622 gathered together H4264 their armies H4421 to battle; H622 and they were gathered together H7755 at Socoh, H3063 which belongs to Judah, H2583 and encamped H7755 between Socoh H5825 and Azekah, H658 in Ephesdammim.

2 H7586 Saul H376 and the men H3478 of Israel H622 were gathered together, H2583 and encamped H6010 in the valley H425 of Elah, H4421 and set the battle H6186 in array H7125 against H6430 the Philistines.

3 H6430 The Philistines H5975 stood H2022 on the mountain H3478 on the one side, and Israel H5975 stood H2022 on the mountain H1516 on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

4 H3318 There went out H376 a champion 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 He had a helmet H5178 of brass H7218 on his head, H3847 and he was clad 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 H5178 He had brass H4697 shin armor H7272 on his legs, H3591 and a javelin H5178 of brass H3802 between his shoulders.

7 H6086 The staff H2595 of his spear H707 was like a weaver's H4500 beam; H2595 and his spear's H3852 head H8337 weighed six H3967 hundred H8255 shekels H1270 of iron: H6793 and his shield H5375 bearer H1980 went H6440 before him.

8 H5975 He stood H7121 and cried H4634 to the armies H3478 of Israel, H559 and said H3318 to them, "Why have you come out H4421 to set your battle H6186 in array? H6430 Am I not a Philistine, H5650 and you servants H7586 to Saul? H1262 Choose H376 a man H3381 for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

9 H3201 If he be able H3898 to fight H5221 with me, and kill H5650 me, then will we be your servants; H3201 but if I prevail H5221 against him, and kill H5650 him, then you will be our servants, H5647 and serve us."

10 H6430 The Philistine H559 said, H2778 "I defy H4634 the armies H3478 of Israel H3117 this day! H5414 Give H376 me a man, H3898 that we may fight H3162 together!"

11 H7586 When Saul H3478 and all Israel H8085 heard H1697 those words H6430 of the Philistine, H2865 they were dismayed, H3966 and greatly H3372 afraid.

12 H1732 Now David H1121 was the son H376 of that Ephrathite H1035 of Bethlehem Judah, H8034 whose name H3448 was Jesse; H8083 and he had eight H1121 sons: H376 and the man H935 was H2204 an old man H3117 in the days H7586 of Saul, H582 stricken among men.

13 H7969 The three H1419 eldest H1121 sons H3448 of Jesse H3212 had gone H310 after H7586 Saul H4421 to the battle: H8034 and the names H7969 of his three H1121 sons H1980 who went H4421 to the battle H446 were Eliab H1060 the firstborn, H4932 and next H41 to him Abinadab, H7992 and the third H8048 Shammah.

14 H1732 David H6996 was the youngest; H7969 and the three H1419 eldest H1980 followed H7586 Saul.

15 H1732 Now David H1980 went H7725 back and forth H7586 from Saul H7462 to feed H1 his father's H6629 sheep H1035 at Bethlehem.

16 H6430 The Philistine H5066 drew near H7925 morning H6150 and evening, H3320 and presented H705 himself forty H3117 days.

17 H3448 Jesse H559 said H1732 to David H1121 his son, H3947 "Now take H251 for your brothers H374 an ephah H2088 of this H7039 parched H6235 grain, and these ten H3899 loaves, H7323 and carry H4264 them quickly to the camp H251 to your brothers;

18 H935 and bring H6235 these ten H2461 cheeses H8269 to the captain H505 of their thousand, H6485 and see H251 how your brothers H7965 are doing, H3947 and bring H6161 back news."

19 H7586 Now Saul, H376 and they, and all the men H3478 of Israel, H6010 were in the valley H425 of Elah, H3898 fighting H6430 with the Philistines.

20 H1732 David H7925 rose up early H1242 in the morning, H5203 and left H6629 the sheep H8104 with a keeper, H5375 and took, H3212 and went, H3448 as Jesse H6680 had commanded H935 him; and he came H4570 to the place H2428 of the wagons, as the army H3318 which was going forth H4634 to the fight H7321 shouted H4421 for the battle.

21 H3478 Israel H6430 and the Philistines H6186 put the battle in array, H4634 army H7125 against H4634 army.

22 H1732 David H5203 left H3627 his baggage H3027 in the hand H8104 of the keeper H3627 of the baggage, H7323 and ran H4634 to the army, H935 and came H7592 and greeted H251 his brothers.

23 H1696 As he talked H5927 with them, behold, there came up H376 the champion, H6430 the Philistine H1661 of Gath, H1555 Goliath H8034 by name, H4634 out of the ranks H6430 of the Philistines, H1696 and spoke H428 according to the same H1697 words: H1732 and David H8085 heard them.

24 H376 All the men H3478 of Israel, H7200 when they saw H376 the man, H5127 fled H6440 from him, H3966 and were H3372 terrified.

25 H376 The men H3478 of Israel H559 said, H7200 "Have you seen H376 this man H5927 who has come up? H5927 He has surely come up H2778 to defy H3478 Israel. H376 It shall be, that the man H5221 who kills H4428 him, the king H6238 will enrich H1419 him with great H6239 riches, H5414 and will give H1323 him his daughter, H6213 and make H1 his father's H1004 house H2670 free H3478 in Israel."

26 H1732 David H559 spoke H582 to the men H5975 who stood H559 by him, saying, H6213 "What shall be done H376 to the man H5221 who kills H1975 this H6430 Philistine, H5493 and takes away H2781 the reproach H3478 from Israel? H6189 For who is this uncircumcised H6430 Philistine, H2778 that he should defy H4634 the armies H2416 of the living H430 God?"

27 H5971 The people H559 answered H1697 him in this way, H559 saying, H6213 "So shall it be done H376 to the man H5221 who kills him."

28 H446 Eliab H1419 his eldest H251 brother H8085 heard H1696 when he spoke H582 to the men; H446 and Eliab's H639 anger H2734 was kindled H1732 against David, H559 and he said, H3381 "Why have you come down? H5203 With whom have you left H2007 those H4592 few H6629 sheep H4057 in the wilderness? H3045 I know H2087 your pride, H7455 and the naughtiness H3824 of your heart; H3381 for you have come down H7200 that you might see H4421 the battle."

29 H1732 David H559 said, H6213 "What have I now done? H1697 Is there not a cause?"

30 H5437 He turned H681 away from him H4136 toward H312 another, H559 and spoke H1697 like that again; H5971 and the people H1697 answered H7725 him again H7223 the same H1697 way.

31 H1697 When the words H8085 were heard H1732 which David H1696 spoke, H5046 they rehearsed H6440 them before H7586 Saul; H3947 and he sent for him.

32 H1732 David H559 said H7586 to Saul, H120 "Let no man's H3820 heart H5307 fail H5650 because of him. Your servant H3212 will go H3898 and fight H6430 with this Philistine."

33 H7586 Saul H559 said H1732 to David, H3201 "You are not able H3212 to go H6430 against this Philistine H3898 to fight H5288 with him; for you are but a youth, H376 and he a man H4421 of war H5271 from his youth."

34 H1732 David H559 said H7586 to Saul, H5650 "Your servant H7462 was keeping H1 his father's H6629 sheep; H738 and when a lion H1677 or a bear H935 came, H5375 and took H7716 a lamb H5739 out of the flock,

35 H3318 I went out H310 after H5221 him, and struck H5337 him, and rescued H6310 it out of his mouth. H6965 When he arose H2388 against me, I caught H2206 him by his beard, H5221 and struck H4191 him, and killed him.

36 H5650 Your servant H5221 struck H738 both the lion H1677 and the bear. H6189 This uncircumcised H6430 Philistine H259 shall be as one H2778 of them, since he has defied H4634 the armies H2416 of the living H430 God."

37 H1732 David H559 said, H3068 "Yahweh H5337 who delivered H3027 me out of the paw H738 of the lion, H3027 and out of the paw H1677 of the bear, H5337 he will deliver H3027 me out of the hand H6430 of this Philistine." H7586 Saul H559 said H1732 to David, H3212 "Go; H3068 and Yahweh shall be with you."

38 H7586 Saul H3847 dressed H1732 David H4055 with his clothing. H5414 He put H6959 a helmet H5178 of brass H7218 on his head, H3847 and he clad H8302 him with a coat of mail.

39 H1732 David H2296 strapped H2719 his sword H4055 on his clothing, H2974 and he tried H3212 to move; H5254 for he had not tested H1732 it. David H559 said H7586 to Saul, H3201 "I can't H3212 go H3201 with these; for I have not H5254 tested H1732 them." David took them off.

40 H3947 He took H4731 his staff H3027 in his hand, H977 and chose H2568 for himself five H2512 smooth H68 stones H5158 out of the brook, H7760 and put H7462 them in the shepherd's H3627 bag H3219 which he had, even in his wallet. H7050 His sling H3027 was in his hand; H5066 and he drew near H6430 to the Philistine.

41 H6430 The Philistine H3212 came H1980 on H7131 and drew near H1732 to David; H376 and the man H5375 who bore H6793 the shield H6440 went before him.

42 H6430 When the Philistine H5027 looked about, H7200 and saw H1732 David, H959 he disdained H5288 him; for he was but a youth, H132 and ruddy, H3303 and withal of a fair H4758 face.

43 H6430 The Philistine H559 said H1732 to David, H3611 "Am I a dog, H935 that you come H4731 to me with sticks?" H6430 The Philistine H7043 cursed H1732 David H430 by his gods.

44 H6430 The Philistine H559 said H1732 to David, H3212 "Come H5414 to me, and I will give H1320 your flesh H5775 to the birds H8064 of the sky, H929 and to the animals H7704 of the field."

45 H1732 Then David H559 said H6430 to the Philistine, H935 "You come H2719 to me with a sword, H2595 and with a spear, H3591 and with a javelin: H935 but I come H8034 to you in the name H3068 of Yahweh H6635 of Armies, H430 the God H6635 of the armies H3478 of Israel, H2778 whom you have defied.

46 H3117 Today, H3068 Yahweh H5462 will deliver H3027 you into my hand. H5221 I will strike H5493 you, and take H7218 your head H5414 from off you. I will give H6297 the dead bodies H4264 of the army H6430 of the Philistines H3117 this day H5775 to the birds H8064 of the sky, H2416 and to the wild animals H776 of the earth; H776 that all the earth H3045 may know H3426 that there is H430 a God H3478 in Israel,

47 H6951 and that all this assembly H3045 may know H3068 that Yahweh H3467 doesn't save H2719 with sword H2595 and spear: H4421 for the battle H3068 is Yahweh's, H5414 and he will give H3027 you into our hand."

48 H6430 It happened, when the Philistine H6965 arose, H3212 and came H7126 and drew near H7125 to meet H1732 David, H1732 that David H4116 hurried, H7323 and ran H4634 toward the army H7125 to meet H6430 the Philistine.

49 H1732 David H7971 put H3027 his hand H3627 in his bag, H3947 took H68 a stone, H7049 and slung H5221 it, and struck H6430 the Philistine H4696 in his forehead; H68 and the stone H2883 sank H4696 into his forehead, H5307 and he fell H6440 on his face H776 to the earth.

50 H1732 So David H2388 prevailed H4480 over H6430 the Philistine H7050 with a sling H68 and with a stone, H5221 and struck H6430 the Philistine, H4191 and killed H2719 him; but there was no sword H3027 in the hand H1732 of David.

51 H1732 Then David H7323 ran, H5975 and stood H6430 over the Philistine, H3947 and took H2719 his sword, H8025 and drew H8593 it out of its sheath, H4191 and killed H3772 him, and cut off H7218 his head H6430 therewith. When the Philistines H7200 saw H1368 that their champion H4191 was dead, H5127 they fled.

52 H582 The men H3478 of Israel H3063 and of Judah H6965 arose, H7321 and shouted, H7291 and pursued H6430 the Philistines, H935 until you come H1516 to Gai, H8179 and to the gates H6138 of Ekron. H2491 The wounded H6430 of the Philistines H5307 fell down H1870 by the way H8189 to Shaaraim, H1661 even to Gath, H6138 and to Ekron.

53 H1121 The children H3478 of Israel H7725 returned H1814 from chasing H310 after H6430 the Philistines, H8155 and they plundered H4264 their camp.

54 H1732 David H3947 took H7218 the head H6430 of the Philistine, H935 and brought H3389 it to Jerusalem; H7760 but he put H3627 his armor H168 in his tent.

55 H7586 When Saul H7200 saw H1732 David H3318 go forth H7125 against H6430 the Philistine, H559 he said H74 to Abner, H8269 the captain H6635 of the army, H74 "Abner, H1121 whose son H5288 is this youth?" H74 Abner H559 said, H5315 "As your soul H2416 lives, H4428 O king, H518 I can't H3045 tell."

56 H4428 The king H559 said, H7592 "Inquire H1121 whose son H5958 the young man is!"

57 H1732 As David H7725 returned H5221 from the slaughter H6430 of the Philistine, H74 Abner H3947 took H935 him, and brought H6440 him before H7586 Saul H7218 with the head H6430 of the Philistine H3027 in his hand.

58 H7586 Saul H559 said H1121 to him, "Whose son H5288 are you, you young man?" H1732 David H559 answered, H1121 "I am the son H5650 of your servant H3448 Jesse H1022 the Bethlehemite."
