And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
8.	And he stood and shouted to the armies of Yisra'el, and said to them, 'Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Sha'ul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.	And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set [your] battle in array? [am] not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
9.	'If he is able to fight with me, and shall smite me, then we shall be your servants. But if I overcome him and shall smite him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.'	If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
10.	Then the Philistine said, 'This day I shall reproach the armies of Yisra'el. Give me a man, and let us fight together.'	And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

12.	Now Dawid was the son of that Ephrathite of Beyth Lehem in Yehudah, whose name was Yishai, and he had eight sons, and in the days of Sha'ul the man was old among men.	Now David [was] the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name [was] Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men [for] an old man in the days of Saul.
13.	And the three oldest sons of Yishai went, they had gone to follow Sha'ul to the battle, and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliyab the first-born, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.	And the three eldest sons of Jesse went [and] followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle [were] Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
14.	And Dawid was the youngest. And the three oldest followed Sha'ul,	And David [was] the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
15.	but Dawid went and returned from Sha'ul to feed his father's sheep at Beyth Lehem.	But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
16.	And for forty days the Philistine drew near, morning and evening, and took his stand.	And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17.	Then Yishai said to his son Dawid, 'Please take to your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp.	And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched [corn], and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;
18.	'And take these ten cheeses to the commander of the thousand, and see how your brothers are, and bring back news of them.'	And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of [their] thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
19.	For Sha'ul and they and all the men of Yisra'el were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.	Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20.	And Dawid rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a herdsman, and took and went as Yishai had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight, and they shouted for the battle.	And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
21.	And Yisra'el and the Philistines drew up in battle array, army against army.	For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
22.	And Dawid left his supplies in the hand of the keeper of the supplies, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.	And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
23.	And he was speaking with them and saw the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Golyath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines. And he spoke according to the same words, and Dawid heard.	And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard [them].
24.	And all the men of Yisra'el, when they saw the man, ran from him and were in great fear.	And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25.	And the men of Yisra'el said, 'Have you seen this man who has come up? For he has come up to reproach Yisra'el. And it shall be that the man who smites him, the sovereign is going to enrich him with great riches, and give him his daughter, and give his father's house exemption in Yisra'el.'	And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, [that] the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
26.	And Dawid spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, 'What shall be done for the man who smites this Philistine and shall take away reproach from Yisra'el? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should reproach the armies of the living Elohim?'	And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
27.	And the people answered him according to this word, saying, 'This is what is done for the man who smites him.'	And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
28.	And Eliyab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men. And Eliyab's displeasure burned against Dawid, and he said, 'Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the evil of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.'	And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
29.	And Dawid said, 'Now what have I done? Was it not but a word?'	And David said, What have I now done? [Is there] not a cause?
30.	And he turned around from him toward another and said the same word. And these people answered him a word like the first word.	And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
31.	And when the words which Dawid spoke were heard, they reported them to Sha'ul, and he sent for him.	And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed [them] before Saul: and he sent for him.
32.	And Dawid said to Sha'ul, 'Let no man's heart fail because of him, your servant is going, and shall fight with this Philistine.'	And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
33.	And Sha'ul said to Dawid, 'You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you are but a youth, and he a man of battle from his youth.'	And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou [art but] a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
34.	Then Dawid said to Sha'ul, 'Your servant has been tending sheep for his father, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,	And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
35.	I went out after it and smote it, and rescued it from its mouth. And when it rose against me, I caught it by its beard, and smote it and killed it.	And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught [him] by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36.	'Your servant has smitten both lion and bear. And this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, seeing he has reproached the armies of the living Elohim.'	Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37.	And Dawid said, ' YHWH, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He does deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.' And Sha'ul said to Dawid, 'Go, and YHWH be with you!'	David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
38.	And Sha'ul dressed Dawid with his garments, and he put a bronze helmet on his head, and put a coat of armour on him.	And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39.	And Dawid girded his sword over his garments, and began to go, but he had not tried them. Then Dawid said to Sha'ul, 'I am not able to go with these, for I have not tried them.' So Dawid took them off.	And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved [it]. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved [them]. And David put them off him.
40.	And he took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in a shepherd's bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.	And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling [was] in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41.	And the Philistine came, and began drawing near to Dawid, and the man who bore the shield went before him.	And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield [went] before him.
42.	And when the Philistine looked about and saw Dawid, he despised him, for he was a youth, and ruddy and good-looking.	And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was [but] a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
43.	And the Philistine said to Dawid, 'Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?' And the Philistine cursed Dawid by his mighty ones.	And the Philistine said unto David, [Am] I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44.	And the Philistine said to Dawid, 'Come to me, and I give your flesh to the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field!'	And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45.	But Dawid said to the Philistine, 'You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the Name of YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of the armies of Yisra'el, whom you have reproached.	Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
46.	'This day YHWH shall deliver you into my hand, and I shall smite you and take your head from you, and give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines today to the birds of the heavens and the wild beasts of the earth, so that all the earth know that Elohim is for Yisra'el,	This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47.	and all this assembly know that YHWH does not save with sword and spear, for the battle belongs to YHWH, and He shall give you into our hands.'	And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.
48.	And it came to be, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet Dawid, that Dawid hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.	And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49.	And Dawid put his hand in his bag and took out a stone, and slung it and smote the Philistine on his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.	And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang [it], and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50.	Thus Dawid prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in the hand of Dawid.	So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but [there was] no sword in the hand of David.
51.	Then Dawid ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.	Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
52.	And the men of Yisra'el and Yehudah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Eqron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the way to Sha'arayim, even as far as Gath and Eqron.	And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53.	Then the children of Yisra'el turned back from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camps.	And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
54.	And Dawid took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Yerushalayim, but he put his weapons in his tent.	And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
55.	And when Sha'ul saw Dawid going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, 'Abner, whose son is this youth?' And Abner said, 'As your being lives, O sovereign, I do not know.'	And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son [is] this youth? And Abner said, [As] thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
56.	And the sovereign said, 'Ask whose son this young man is.'	And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling [is].
57.	And when Dawid returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Sha'ul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.	And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
58.	And Sha'ul said to him, 'Whose son are you, young man?' And Dawid said, 'The son of your servant Yishai the Beyth Lehemite.'	And Saul said to him, Whose son [art] thou, [thou] young man? And David answered, I [am] the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
