1Sam.17.22
While they were talking together, the Philistine champion, Goliath of Gath, stepped out from the front lines of the Philistines, and gave his usual challenge. David heard him.

David left his things with the keeper of supplies, ran to the battle lines and greeted his brothers.

1Sam.17.23
The Israelites, to a man, fell back the moment they saw the giant--totally frightened.
1Sam.17.23
As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, stepped out from his lines and shouted his usual defiance, and David heard it.
1Sam.17.23
Then as he talked with them, there was the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines; and he spoke according to the same words. So David heard them.
1Sam.17.23
As he was talking with them, he saw Goliath, the champion from Gath, come out from the Philistine ranks, shouting his challenge to the army of Israel.
1Sam.17.24
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
1Sam.17.24
The talk among the troops was, "Have you ever seen anything like this, this man openly and defiantly challenging Israel? The man who kills the giant will have it made. The king will give him a huge reward, offer his daughter as a bride, and give his entire family a free ride."
1Sam.17.24
When the Israelites saw the man, they all ran from him in great fear.
1Sam.17.24
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were dreadfully afraid.
1Sam.17.24
As soon as the Israelite army saw him, they began to run away in fright.
1Sam.17.25
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.
1Sam.17.25
David, who was talking to the men standing around him, asked, "What's in it for the man who kills that Philistine and gets rid of this ugly blot on Israel's honor? Who does he think he is, anyway, this uncircumcised Philistine, taunting the armies of God-Alive?"
1Sam.17.25
Now the Israelites had been saying, "Do you see how this man keeps coming out? He comes out to defy Israel. The king will give great wealth to the man who kills him. He will also give him his daughter in marriage and will exempt his father's family from taxes in Israel."
1Sam.17.25
So the men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father's house exemption from taxes in Israel."
1Sam.17.25
"Have you seen the giant?" the men were asking. "He comes out each day to challenge Israel. And have you heard about the huge reward the king has offered to anyone who kills him? The king will give him one of his daughters for a wife, and his whole family will be exempted from paying taxes!"
1Sam.17.26
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?
1Sam.17.26
They told him what everyone was saying about what the king would do for the man who killed the Philistine.
1Sam.17.26
David asked the men standing near him, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
1Sam.17.26
Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
1Sam.17.26
David talked to some others standing there to verify the report. "What will a man get for killing this Philistine and putting an end to his abuse of Israel?" he asked them. "Who is this pagan Philistine anyway, that he is allowed to defy the armies of the living God?"
1Sam.17.27
And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
1Sam.17.27
Eliab, his older brother, heard David fraternizing with the men and lost his temper: "What are you doing here! Why aren't you minding your own business, tending that scrawny flock of sheep? I know what you're up to. You've come down here to see the sights, hoping for a ringside seat at a bloody battle!"
1Sam.17.27
They repeated to him what they had been saying and told him, "This is what will be done for the man who kills him."
1Sam.17.27
And the people answered him in this manner, saying, "So shall it be done for the man who kills him."
1Sam.17.27
And David received the same reply as before: "What you have been hearing is true. That is the reward for killing the giant."
1Sam.17.28
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.
1Sam.17.28
"What is it with you?" replied David. "All I did was ask a question."
1Sam.17.28
When Eliab, David's oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked, "Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the desert? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle."
1Sam.17.28
Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was aroused against David, 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 insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle."
1Sam.17.28
But when David's oldest brother, Eliab, heard David talking to the men, he was angry. "What are you doing around here anyway?" he demanded. "What about those few sheep you're supposed to be taking care of? I know about your pride and dishonesty. You just want to see the battle!"
1Sam.17.29
And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
1Sam.17.29
Ignoring his brother, he turned to someone else, asked the same question, and got the same answer as before.
1Sam.17.29
"Now what have I done?" said David. "Can't I even speak?"
1Sam.17.29
And David said, "What have I done now? Is there not a cause?"
1Sam.17.29
"What have I done now?" David replied. "I was only asking a question!"
1Sam.17.30
And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
1Sam.17.30
The things David was saying were picked up and reported to Saul. Saul sent for him.
1Sam.17.30
He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before.
1Sam.17.30
Then he turned from him toward another and said the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did.
1Sam.17.30
He walked over to some others and asked them the same thing and received the same answer.
1Sam.17.31
And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
1Sam.17.31
"Master," said David, "don't give up hope. I'm ready to go and fight this Philistine."
1Sam.17.31
What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.
1Sam.17.31
Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him.
1Sam.17.31
Then David's question was reported to King Saul, and the king sent for him.
1Sam.17.32
And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
1Sam.17.32
Saul answered David, "You can't go and fight this Philistine. You're too young and inexperienced--and he's been at this fighting business since before you were born."
1Sam.17.32
David said to Saul, "Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him."
1Sam.17.32
Then David said to Saul, "Let no man's heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
1Sam.17.32
"Don't worry about a thing," David told Saul. "I'll go fight this Philistine!"
1Sam.17.33
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.
1Sam.17.33
David said, "I've been a shepherd, tending sheep for my father. Whenever a lion or bear came and took a lamb from the flock,
1Sam.17.33
Saul replied, "You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a boy, and he has been a fighting man from his youth."
1Sam.17.33
And Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
1Sam.17.33
"Don't be ridiculous!" Saul replied. "There is no way you can go against this Philistine. You are only a boy, and he has been in the army since he was a boy!"
1Sam.17.34
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:
1Sam.17.34
I'd go after it, knock it down, and rescue the lamb. If it turned on me, I'd grab it by the throat, wring its neck, and kill it.
1Sam.17.34
But David said to Saul, "Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock,
1Sam.17.34
But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,
1Sam.17.34
But David persisted. "I have been taking care of my father's sheep," he said. "When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock,
1Sam.17.35
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.
1Sam.17.35
Lion or bear, it made no difference--I killed it. And I'll do the same to this Philistine pig who is taunting the troops of God-Alive.
1Sam.17.35
I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it.
1Sam.17.35
I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it.
1Sam.17.35
I go after it with a club and take the lamb from its mouth. If the animal turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death.
1Sam.17.36
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.
1Sam.17.36
GOD, who delivered me from the teeth of the lion and the claws of the bear, will deliver me from this Philistine." Saul said, "Go. And GOD help you!"
1Sam.17.36
Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.
1Sam.17.36
Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God."
1Sam.17.36
I have done this to both lions and bears, and I'll do it to this pagan Philistine, too, for he has defied the armies of the living God!
1Sam.17.37
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.
1Sam.17.37
Then Saul outfitted David as a soldier in armor. He put his bronze helmet on his head and belted his sword on him over the armor.
1Sam.17.37
The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you."
1Sam.17.37
Moreover David said, "The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!"
1Sam.17.37
The LORD who saved me from the claws of the lion and the bear will save me from this Philistine!" Saul finally consented. "All right, go ahead," he said. "And may the LORD be with you!"
1Sam.17.38
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.
1Sam.17.38
David tried to walk but he could hardly budge. David told Saul, "I can't even move with all this stuff on me. I'm not used to this." And he took it all off.
1Sam.17.38
Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head.
1Sam.17.38
So Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail.
1Sam.17.38
Then Saul gave David his own armor--a bronze helmet and a coat of mail.
1Sam.17.39
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.
1Sam.17.39
Then David took his shepherd's staff, selected five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the pocket of his shepherd's pack, and with his sling in his hand approached Goliath.
1Sam.17.39
David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. "I cannot go in these," he said to Saul, "because I am not used to them." So he took them off.
1Sam.17.39
David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, "I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them." So David took them off.
1Sam.17.39
David put it on, strapped the sword over it, and took a step or two to see what it was like, for he had never worn such things before. "I can't go in these," he protested. "I'm not used to them." So he took them off again.
1Sam.17.40
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.
1Sam.17.40
As the Philistine paced back and forth, his shield bearer in front of him, he noticed David.
1Sam.17.40
Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
1Sam.17.40
Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, 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.
1Sam.17.40
He picked up five smooth stones from a stream and put them in his shepherd's bag. Then, armed only with his shepherd's staff and sling, he started across to fight Goliath.
1Sam.17.41
And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
1Sam.17.41
He took one look down on him and sneered--a mere youngster, apple-cheeked and peach-fuzzed.
1Sam.17.41
Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David.
1Sam.17.41
So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him.
1Sam.17.41
Goliath walked out toward David with his shield bearer ahead of him,
1Sam.17.42
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.
1Sam.17.42
The Philistine ridiculed David. "Am I a dog that you come after me with a stick?" And he cursed him by his gods.
1Sam.17.42
He looked David over and saw that he was only a boy, ruddy and handsome, and he despised him.
1Sam.17.42
And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking.
1Sam.17.42
sneering in contempt at this ruddy-faced boy.
1Sam.17.43
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.
1Sam.17.43
"Come on," said the Philistine. "I'll make roadkill of you for the buzzards. I'll turn you into a tasty morsel for the field mice."
1Sam.17.43
He said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
1Sam.17.43
So the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
1Sam.17.43
"Am I a dog," he roared at David, "that you come at me with a stick?" And he cursed David by the names of his gods.
1Sam.17.44
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.
1Sam.17.44
David answered, "You come at me with sword and spear and battle-ax. I come at you in the name of GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel's troops, whom you curse and mock.
1Sam.17.44
"Come here," he said, "and I'll give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!"
1Sam.17.44
And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!"
1Sam.17.44
"Come over here, and I'll give your flesh to the birds and wild animals!" Goliath yelled.
1Sam.17.45
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.
1Sam.17.45
This very day GOD is handing you over to me. I'm about to kill you, cut off your head, and serve up your body and the bodies of your Philistine buddies to the crows and coyotes. The whole earth will know that there's an extraordinary God in Israel.
1Sam.17.45
David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
1Sam.17.45
Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
1Sam.17.45
David shouted in reply, "You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD Almighty--the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
1Sam.17.46
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.
1Sam.17.46
And everyone gathered here will learn that GOD doesn't save by means of sword or spear. The battle belongs to GOD-he's handing you to us on a platter!"
1Sam.17.46
This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
1Sam.17.46
This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
1Sam.17.46
Today the LORD will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head. And then I will give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel!
1Sam.17.47
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.
1Sam.17.47
That roused the Philistine, and he started toward David. David took off from the front line, running toward the Philistine.
1Sam.17.47
All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands."
1Sam.17.47
Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give you into our hands."
1Sam.17.47
And everyone will know that the LORD does not need weapons to rescue his people. It is his battle, not ours. The LORD will give you to us!"
1Sam.17.48
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.
1Sam.17.48
David reached into his pocket for a stone, slung it, and hit the Philistine hard in the forehead, embedding the stone deeply. The Philistine crashed, facedown in the dirt.
1Sam.17.48
As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.
1Sam.17.48

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.
1Sam.17.49
That's how David beat the Philistine--with a sling and a stone. He hit him and killed him. No sword for David!

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.
1Sam.17.50
