1 Now the Philistines 6430 gathered together 622 their armies 4264 to battle 4421, and were gathered together 622 at Shochoh 7755, which belongeth to Judah 3063, and pitched 2583 between Shochoh 7755 and Azekah 5825, in Ephesdammim 658.
2 And Saul 7586 and the men 376 of Israel 3478 were gathered together 622, and pitched 2583 by the valley 6010 of Elah 425, and set the battle 4421 in array 6186 against 7125 the Philistines 6430.
3 And the Philistines 6430 stood 5975 on a mountain 2022 on the one side, and Israel 3478 stood 5975 on a mountain 2022 on the other side: and there was a valley 1516 between them.
4 And there went out 3318 a champion 376 1143 out of the camp 4264 of the Philistines 6430, named 8034 Goliath 1555, of Gath 1661, whose height 1363 was six 8337 cubits 520 and a span 2239.
5 And he had an helmet 3553 of brass 5178 upon his head 7218, and he was armed 3847 with a coat 8302 of mail 7193; and the weight 4948 of the coat 8302 was five 2568 thousand 505 shekels 8255 of brass 5178.
6 And he had greaves 4697 of brass 5178 upon his legs 7272, and a target 3591 of brass 5178 between his shoulders 3802.
7 And the staff 6086 2671 of his spear 2595 was like a weaver's 707 beam 4500; and his spear's 2595 head 3852 weighed six 8337 hundred 3967 shekels 8255 of iron 1270: and one bearing 5375 a shield 6793 went 1980 before 6440 him.
8 And he stood 5975 and cried 7121 unto the armies 4634 of Israel 3478, and said 559 unto them, Why are ye come out 3318 to set your battle 4421 in array 6186? am not I a Philistine 6430, and ye servants 5650 to Saul 7586? choose 1262 you a man 376 for you, and let him come down 3381 to me.
9 If he be able 3201 to fight 3898 with me, and to kill 5221 me, then will we be your servants 5650: but if I prevail 3201 against him, and kill 5221 him, then shall ye be our servants 5650, and serve 5647 us.
10 And the Philistine 6430 said 559, I defy 2778 the armies 4634 of Israel 3478 this day 3117; give 5414 me a man 376, that we may fight 3898 together 3162.
11 When Saul 7586 and all Israel 3478 heard 8085 those words 1697 of the Philistine 6430, they were dismayed 2865, and greatly 3966 afraid 3372.
12 Now David 1732 was the son 1121 of that Ephrathite 376 673 of Bethlehemjudah 1035 3063, whose name 8034 was Jesse 3448; and he had eight 8083 sons 1121: and the man 376 went 935 among men 582 for an old man 2204 in the days 3117 of Saul 7586.
13 And the three 7969 eldest 1419 sons 1121 of Jesse 3448 went 3212 and followed 310 Saul 7586 to the battle 4421: and the names 8034 of his three 7969 sons 1121 that went 1980 to the battle 4421 were Eliab 446 the firstborn 1060, and next 4932 unto him Abinadab 41, and the third 7992 Shammah 8048.
14 And David 1732 was the youngest 6996: and the three 7969 eldest 1419 followed 1980 310 Saul 7586.
15 But David 1732 went 1980 and returned 7725 from Saul 7586 to feed 7462 his father's 1 sheep 6629 at Bethlehem 1035.
16 And the Philistine 6430 drew near 5066 morning 7925 and evening 6150, and presented 3320 himself forty 705 days 3117.
17 And Jesse 3448 said 559 unto David 1732 his son 1121, Take 3947 now for thy brethren 251 an ephah 374 of this 2088 parched 7039 corn, and these ten 6235 loaves 3899, and run 7323 to the camp 4264 to thy brethren 251;
18 And carry 935 these ten 6235 cheeses 2461 2757 unto the captain 8269 of their thousand 505, and look 6485 how thy brethren 251 fare 7965, and take 3947 their pledge 6161.
19 Now Saul 7586, and they, and all the men 376 of Israel 3478, were in the valley 6010 of Elah 425, fighting 3898 with the Philistines 6430.
20 And David 1732 rose up early 7925 in the morning 1242, and left 5203 the sheep 6629 with a keeper 8104, and took 5375, and went 3212, as Jesse 3448 had commanded 6680 him; and he came 935 to the trench 4570, as the host 2428 was going forth 3318 to the fight 4634, and shouted 7321 for the battle 4421.
21 For Israel 3478 and the Philistines 6430 had put the battle in array 6186, army 4634 against 7125 army 4634.
22 And David 1732 left 5203 his carriage 3627 in the hand 3027 of the keeper 8104 of the carriage 3627, and ran 7323 into the army 4634, and came 935 and saluted 7592 7965 his brethren 251.
23 And as he talked 1696 with them, behold, there came up 5927 the champion 376 1143, the Philistine 6430 of Gath 1661, Goliath 1555 by name 8034, out of the armies 4634 4630 of the Philistines 6430, and spake 1696 according to the same 428 words 1697: and David 1732 heard 8085 them.
24 And all the men 376 of Israel 3478, when they saw 7200 the man 376, fled 5127 from him 6440, and were sore 3966 afraid 3372.
25 And the men 376 of Israel 3478 said 559, Have ye seen 7200 this man 376 that is come up 5927? surely to defy 2778 Israel 3478 is he come up 5927: and it shall be, that the man 376 who killeth 5221 him, the king 4428 will enrich 6238 him with great 1419 riches 6239, and will give 5414 him his daughter 1323, and make 6213 his father's 1 house 1004 free 2670 in Israel 3478.
26 And David 1732 spake 559 to the men 582 that stood 5975 by him, saying 559, What shall be done 6213 to the man 376 that killeth 5221 this 1975 Philistine 6430, and taketh away 5493 the reproach 2781 from Israel 3478? for who is this uncircumcised 6189 Philistine 6430, that he should defy 2778 the armies 4634 of the living 2416 God 430?
27 And the people 5971 answered 559 him after this manner 1697, saying 559, So shall it be done 6213 to the man 376 that killeth 5221 him.
28 And Eliab 446 his eldest 1419 brother 251 heard 8085 when he spake 1696 unto the men 582; and Eliab's 446 anger 639 was kindled 2734 against David 1732, and he said 559, Why camest thou down 3381 hither? and with whom hast thou left 5203 those 2007 few 4592 sheep 6629 in the wilderness 4057? I know 3045 thy pride 2087, and the naughtiness 7455 of thine heart 3824; for thou art come down 3381 that thou mightest see 7200 the battle 4421.
29 And David 1732 said 559, What have I now done 6213? Is there not a cause 1697?
30 And he turned 5437 from him 681 toward 4136 another 312, and spake 559 after the same manner 1697: and the people 5971 answered 1697 him again 7725 after the former 7223 manner 1697.
31 And when the words 1697 were heard 8085 which David 1732 spake 1696, they rehearsed 5046 them before 6440 Saul 7586: and he sent 3947 for him.
32 And David 1732 said 559 to Saul 7586, Let no man's 120 heart 3820 fail 5307 because of him; thy servant 5650 will go 3212 and fight 3898 with this Philistine 6430.
33 And Saul 7586 said 559 to David 1732, Thou art not able 3201 to go 3212 against this Philistine 6430 to fight 3898 with him: for thou art but a youth 5288, and he a man 376 of war 4421 from his youth 5271.
34 And David 1732 said 559 unto Saul 7586, Thy servant 5650 kept 7462 his father's 1 sheep 6629, and there came 935 a lion 738, and a bear 1677, and took 5375 a lamb 7716 2089 out of the flock 5739:
35 And I went out 3318 after 310 him, and smote 5221 him, and delivered 5337 it out of his mouth 6310: and when he arose 6965 against me, I caught 2388 him by his beard 2206, and smote 5221 him, and slew 4191 him.
36 Thy servant 5650 slew 5221 both the lion 738 and the bear 1677: and this uncircumcised 6189 Philistine 6430 shall be as one 259 of them, seeing he hath defied 2778 the armies 4634 of the living 2416 God 430.
37 David 1732 said 559 moreover, The LORD 3068 that delivered 5337 me out of the paw 3027 of the lion 738, and out of the paw 3027 of the bear 1677, he will deliver 5337 me out of the hand 3027 of this Philistine 6430. And Saul 7586 said 559 unto David 1732, Go 3212, and the LORD 3068 be with thee.
38 And Saul 7586 armed 3847 David 1732 with his armour 4055, and he put 5414 an helmet 6959 of brass 5178 upon his head 7218; also he armed 3847 him with a coat of mail 8302.
39 And David 1732 girded 2296 his sword 2719 upon his armour 4055, and he assayed 2974 to go 3212; for he had not proved 5254 it. And David 1732 said 559 unto Saul 7586, I cannot 3201 go 3212 with these; for I have not proved 5254 them. And David 1732 put 5493 them off him.
40 And he took 3947 his staff 4731 in his hand 3027, and chose 977 him five 2568 smooth 2512 stones 68 out of the brook 5158, and put 7760 them in a shepherd's 7462 bag 3627 which he had, even in a scrip 3219; and his sling 7050 was in his hand 3027: and he drew near 5066 to the Philistine 6430.
41 And the Philistine 6430 came 3212 on 1980 and drew near 7131 unto David 1732; and the man 376 that bare 5375 the shield 6793 went before 6440 him.
42 And when the Philistine 6430 looked about 5027, and saw 7200 David 1732, he disdained 959 him: for he was but a youth 5288, and ruddy 132, and of a fair 3303 countenance 4758.
43 And the Philistine 6430 said 559 unto David 1732, Am I a dog 3611, that thou comest 935 to me with staves 4731? And the Philistine 6430 cursed 7043 David 1732 by his gods 430.
44 And the Philistine 6430 said 559 to David 1732, Come 3212 to me, and I will give 5414 thy flesh 1320 unto the fowls 5775 of the air 8064, and to the beasts 929 of the field 7704.
45 Then said 559 David 1732 to the Philistine 6430, Thou comest 935 to me with a sword 2719, and with a spear 2595, and with a shield 3591: but I come 935 to thee in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of the armies 4634 of Israel 3478, whom thou hast defied 2778.
46 This day 3117 will the LORD 3068 deliver 5462 thee into mine hand 3027; and I will smite 5221 thee, and take 5493 thine head 7218 from thee; and I will give 5414 the carcases 6297 of the host 4264 of the Philistines 6430 this day 3117 unto the fowls 5775 of the air 8064, and to the wild beasts 2416 of the earth 776; that all the earth 776 may know 3045 that there is 3426 a God 430 in Israel 3478.
47 And all this assembly 6951 shall know 3045 that the LORD 3068 saveth 3467 not with sword 2719 and spear 2595: for the battle 4421 is the LORD'S 3068, and he will give 5414 you into our hands 3027.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine 6430 arose 6965, and came 3212 and drew nigh 7126 to meet 7125 David 1732, that David 1732 hasted 4116, and ran 7323 toward the army 4634 to meet 7125 the Philistine 6430.
49 And David 1732 put 7971 his hand 3027 in his bag 3627, and took 3947 thence a stone 68, and slang 7049 it, and smote 5221 the Philistine 6430 in his forehead 4696, that the stone 68 sunk 2883 into his forehead 4696; and he fell 5307 upon his face 6440 to the earth 776.
50 So David 1732 prevailed 2388 over 4480 the Philistine 6430 with a sling 7050 and with a stone 68, and smote 5221 the Philistine 6430, and slew 4191 him; but there was no sword 2719 in the hand 3027 of David 1732.
51 Therefore David 1732 ran 7323, and stood 5975 upon the Philistine 6430, and took 3947 his sword 2719, and drew 8025 it out of the sheath 8593 thereof, and slew 4191 him, and cut off 3772 his head 7218 therewith. And when the Philistines 6430 saw 7200 their champion 1368 was dead 4191, they fled 5127.
52 And the men 582 of Israel 3478 and of Judah 3063 arose 6965, and shouted 7321, and pursued 7291 the Philistines 6430, until thou come 935 to the valley 1516, and to the gates 8179 of Ekron 6138. And the wounded 2491 of the Philistines 6430 fell down 5307 by the way 1870 to Shaaraim 8189, even unto Gath 1661, and unto Ekron 6138.
53 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 returned 7725 from chasing 1814 after 310 the Philistines 6430, and they spoiled 8155 their tents 4264.
54 And David 1732 took 3947 the head 7218 of the Philistine 6430, and brought 935 it to Jerusalem 3389; but he put 7760 his armour 3627 in his tent 168.
55 And when Saul 7586 saw 7200 David 1732 go forth 3318 against 7125 the Philistine 6430, he said 559 unto Abner 74, the captain 8269 of the host 6635, Abner 74, whose son 1121 is this youth 5288? And Abner 74 said 559, As thy soul 5315 liveth 2416, O king 4428, I cannot 518 tell 3045.
56 And the king 4428 said 559, Enquire 7592 thou whose son 1121 the stripling 5958 is.
57 And as David 1732 returned 7725 from the slaughter 5221 of the Philistine 6430, Abner 74 took 3947 him, and brought 935 him before 6440 Saul 7586 with the head 7218 of the Philistine 6430 in his hand 3027.
58 And Saul 7586 said 559 to him, Whose son 1121 art thou, thou young man 5288? And David 1732 answered 559, I am the son 1121 of thy servant 5650 Jesse 3448 the Bethlehemite 1022.
