1 Now the Philistines H6430 gathered together H622 their armies H4264 to battle H4421 , and were gathered together H622 at Shochoh H7755 , which H834 RPRO belongeth to Judah H3063 , and pitched H2583 between H996 PREP Shochoh H7755 and Azekah H5825 , in Ephes H658 - dammim .
2 And Saul H7586 and the men H376 of Israel H3478 were gathered together H622 , and pitched H2583 by the valley H6010 B-CMS of Elah H425 , and set the battle H4421 NFS in array H6186 against H7125 the Philistines H6430 .
3 And the Philistines H6430 stood H5975 VQPMP on H413 PREP a mountain H2022 on the one side H2088 M-DPRO , and Israel H3478 stood H5975 VQPMP on H413 PREP a mountain H2022 on the other side H2088 M-DPRO : and there was a valley H1516 between H996 them .
4 And there went out H3318 W-VQY3MS a champion H376 NMS out of the camp H4264 of the Philistines H6430 TMS , named H8034 CMS-3MS Goliath H1555 , of Gath H1661 , whose height H1363 was six H8337 RFS cubits H520 and a span H2239 .

7 And the staff H2671 of his spear H2595 was like a weaver H707 \'s beam H4500 ; and his spear H2595 \'s head H3852 weighed six H8337 RFS hundred H3967 BFP shekels H8255 of iron H1270 NMS : and one bearing H5375 a shield H6793 went H1980 before H6440 him .
8 And he stood H5975 and cried H7121 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the armies H4634 of Israel H3478 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto them , Why H4100 L-IPRO are ye come out H3318 to set your battle H4421 NFS in array H6186 ? am not H3808 D-NPAR I H595 PPRO-1MS a Philistine H6430 , and ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP servants H5650 NMP to Saul H7586 ? choose H1262 you a man H376 NMS for you , and let him come down H3381 to H413 PREP me .
9 If H518 PART he be able H3201 VQY3MS to fight H3898 with H854 PREP-1MS me , and to kill H5221 me , then will we be H1961 your servants H5650 : but if H518 PART I H589 PPRO-1MS prevail H3201 against him , and kill H5221 him , then shall ye be H1961 W-VQQ2MP our servants H5650 , and serve H5647 us .
10 And the Philistine H6430 said H559 W-VQY3MS , I H589 PPRO-1MS defy H2778 the armies H4634 of Israel H3478 this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS ; give H5414 me a man H376 NMS , that we may fight H3898 together H3162 ADV .
11 When Saul H7586 and all H3605 W-CMS Israel H3478 heard H8085 those H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 CMP of the Philistine H6430 , they were dismayed H2865 , and greatly H3966 ADV afraid H3372 .
12 Now David H1732 was the son H1121 NMP of that H2088 D-PMS Ephrathite H673 of Bethlehem H1035 - judah , whose name H8034 was Jesse H3448 ; and he had eight H8083 MMS sons H1121 NMP : and the man H376 NMS went H935 VQPMS among men H376 NMS for an old H2204 man in the days H3117 B-CMP of Saul H7586 .
13 And the three H7969 BMS eldest H1419 D-AMP sons H1121 of Jesse H3448 went H1980 W-VQY3MP and followed H1980 VQQ3MP Saul H7586 to the battle H4421 : and the names H8034 W-CMS of his three H7969 BMS sons H1121 CMP-3MS that H834 RPRO went H1980 VQQ3MP to the battle H4421 were Eliab H446 the firstborn H1060 , and next H4932 unto him Abinadab H41 , and the third H7992 Shammah H8048 .
14 And David H1732 was the youngest H6996 : and the three H7969 eldest H1419 D-AMP followed H1980 VQQ3MP Saul H7586 .
15 But David H1732 went H1980 and returned H7725 from M-PREP Saul H7586 to feed H7462 his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s sheep H6629 NMS at Bethlehem H1035 .
16 And the Philistine H6430 drew near H5066 morning H7925 and evening H6150 , and presented himself H3320 forty H705 MMP days H3117 NMS .
17 And Jesse H3448 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto David H1732 L-NAME his son H1121 CMS-3MS , Take H3947 VQI2MS now H4994 IJEC for thy brethren H251 an ephah H374 of this H2088 D-PMS parched H7039 corn , and these H2088 D-PMS ten H6235 loaves H3899 NMS , and run H7323 to the camp H4264 to thy brethren H251 ;

19 Now Saul H7586 , and they H1992 , and all H3605 W-CMS the men H376 of Israel H3478 , were in the valley H6010 B-CMS of Elah H425 , fighting H3898 with H5973 PREP the Philistines H6430 .
20 And David H1732 MMS rose up early H7925 in the morning H1242 B-NMS , and left H5203 the sheep H6629 with H5921 PREP a keeper H8104 , and took H5375 W-VQY3MS , and went H1980 W-VQY3MS , as H834 K-RPRO Jesse H3448 had commanded H6680 VPQ3MS-3MS him ; and he came H935 W-VQY3MS to the trench H4570 , as the host H2428 was going forth H3318 to H413 PREP the fight H4634 , and shouted H7321 for the battle H4421 .
21 For Israel H3478 and the Philistines H6430 had put the battle in array H6186 , army H4634 against H7125 army H4634 .
22 And David H1732 MMS left H5203 his carriage H3627 D-NMP in H5921 PREP the hand H3027 CFS of the keeper H8104 of the carriage H3627 D-NMP , and ran H7323 into the army H4634 , and came H935 W-VQY3MS and saluted H7592 W-VQY3MS his brethren H251 .
23 And as he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS talked H1696 VPPMS with H5973 PREP-3MP them , behold H2009 IJEC , there came up H5927 the champion H376 NMS , the Philistine H6430 of Gath H1661 , Goliath H1555 by name H8034 CMS-3MS , out of the armies H4630 of the Philistines H6430 TMS , and spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS according to the same H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 : and David H1732 heard H8085 them .
24 And all H3605 W-CMS the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 , when they saw H7200 the man H376 D-NMS , fled H5127 W-VQY3MP from M-CMP-3MS him , and were sore H3966 ADV afraid H3372 W-VQY3MP .
25 And the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Have ye seen H7200 this H2088 D-PMS man H376 D-NMS that is come up H5927 ? surely H3588 CONJ to defy H2778 Israel H3478 is he come up H5927 : and it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that the man H376 D-NMS who H834 RPRO killeth H5221 him , the king H4428 D-NMS will enrich H6238 him with great H1419 AMS riches H6239 , and will give H5414 VQY3MS him his daughter H1323 , and make H6213 VQY3MS his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s house H1004 CMS free H2670 AMS in Israel H3478 .
26 And David H1732 MMS spoke H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP the men H376 LD-NMS that stood H5975 by H5973 PREP-3MS him , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IPRO shall be done H6213 to the man H376 LD-NMS that H834 RPRO killeth H5221 this H1975 Philistine H6430 , and taketh away H5493 the reproach H2781 from M-PREP Israel H3478 ? for H3588 CONJ who H4310 IPRO is this H2088 D-PMS uncircumcised H6189 Philistine H6430 , that H3588 CONJ he should defy H2778 the armies H4634 of the living H2416 NMP God H430 EDP ?
27 And the people H5971 answered H559 W-VQY3MS him after this H2088 D-PMS manner H1697 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , So H3541 shall it be done H6213 to the man H376 LD-NMS that H834 RPRO killeth H5221 him .
28 And Eliab H446 his eldest H1419 D-AMS brother H251 CMS-3MS heard H8085 when he spoke H1696 unto H413 PREP the men H376 D-NMP ; and Eliab H446 \'s anger H639 CMS was kindled H2734 against David H1732 , and he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Why H4100 L-IPRO camest thou down H3381 hither ? and with H5921 W-PREP whom H4310 IPRO hast thou left H5203 those H2007 few H4592 AMS sheep H6629 in the wilderness H4057 ? I H589 PPRO-1MS know H3045 VQY1MS thy pride H2087 , and the naughtiness H7455 of thine heart H3824 ; for H3588 CONJ thou art come down H3381 that H4616 L-CONJ thou mightest see H7200 the battle H4421 .
29 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IPRO have I now H6258 done H6213 VQQ1MS ? Is there not H3808 D-NPAR a cause H1697 VQPMS ?
30 And he turned H5437 from him toward another H413 PREP 6 H312 PREP , and spoke H559 W-VQY3MS after the same H2088 D-PMS manner H1697 : and the people H5971 answered H1697 VQPMS him again H7725 after the former H7223 manner H1697 .
31 And when the words H1697 AMP were heard H8085 which H834 RPRO David H1732 MMS spoke H1696 VPQ3MS , they rehearsed H5046 them before H6440 Saul H7586 : and he sent H3947 for him .
32 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Saul H7586 , Let no H408 NPAR man H120 NMS \'s heart H3820 NMS fail H5307 VQY3MS because H5921 PREP-3MS of him ; thy servant H5650 will go H1980 and fight H3898 with H5973 PREP this H2088 D-PMS Philistine H6430 .
33 And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Thou art not H3808 NADV able H3201 to go H1980 L-VQFC against H413 PREP this H2088 D-PMS Philistine H6430 to fight H3898 with H5973 PREP-3MS him : for H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art but a youth H5288 , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS a man H376 NMS of war H4421 NFS from his youth H5271 .
34 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Saul H7586 , Thy servant H5650 kept H1961 VQQ3MS his father H1 \'s sheep H6629 BD-NMS , and there came H935 a lion H738 , and a bear H1677 , and took H5375 a lamb H7716 out of the flock H5739 :
35 And I went out H3318 after H310 PREP-3MS him , and smote H5221 him , and delivered H5337 it out of his mouth H6310 M-CMS-3MS : and when he arose H6965 W-VQY3MS against H5921 PREP-1MS me , I caught H2388 him by his beard H2206 , and smote H5221 him , and slew H4191 him .
36 Thy servant H5650 slew H5221 both H1571 CONJ the lion H738 and H1571 CONJ the bear H1677 : and this H2088 D-PMS uncircumcised H6189 Philistine H6430 shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS as one H259 K-NMS of H4480 them , seeing H3588 CONJ he hath defied H2778 the armies H4634 of the living H2416 NMP God H430 EDP .
37 David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS moreover , The LORD H3068 EDS that H834 RPRO delivered H5337 me out of the paw H3027 M-GFS of the lion H738 , and out of the paw H3027 WM-GFS of the bear H1677 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS will deliver H5337 me out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of this H2088 D-PMS Philistine H6430 . And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Go H1980 VQI2MS , and the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS be H1961 VQY3MS with H5973 PREP-2FS thee .
38 And Saul H7586 armed H3847 David H1732 MMS with his armor H4055 , and he put H5414 W-VQQ3MS a helmet H6959 of brass H5178 CFS upon H5921 PREP his head H7218 CMS-3MS ; also he armed H3847 him with a coat of mail H8302 .
39 And David H1732 MMS girded H2296 his sword H2719 upon H5921 M-PREP his armor H4055 , and he attempted H2974 to go H1980 L-VQFC ; for H3588 CONJ he had not H3808 ADV proved H5254 it . And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Saul H7586 , I cannot H3201 go H1980 L-VQFC with these H428 ; for H3588 CONJ I have not H3808 NADV proved H5254 them . And David H1732 MMS put H5493 them off H5921 M-PREP him .
40 And he took H3947 W-VQY3MS his staff H4731 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS , and chose H977 W-VQY3MS him five H2568 smooth H2512 stones H68 NFP out of H4480 PREP the brook H5158 , and put H7760 W-VQY3MS them in a shepherd H7462 \'s bag H3627 which H834 RPRO he had , even in a scrip H3219 ; and his sling H7050 was in his hand H3027 : and he drew near H5066 to H413 PREP the Philistine H6430 .
41 And the Philistine H6430 came H1980 W-VQY3MS on H1980 and drew near H7131 unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS ; and the man H376 that bore H5375 the shield H6793 went before H6440 him .
42 And when the Philistine H6430 looked about H5027 , and saw H7200 David H1732 MMS , he disdained H959 him : for H3588 CONJ he was H1961 VQQ3MS but a youth H5288 , and ruddy H132 , and of H5973 PREP a fair H3303 countenance H4758 .
43 And the Philistine H6430 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Am I H595 PPRO-1MS a dog H3611 , that H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS comest H935 to H413 PREP me with staves H4731 ? And the Philistine H6430 cursed H7043 W-VPY3MS David H1732 MMS by his gods H430 .
44 And the Philistine H6430 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Come H1980 VQI2MS-3FS to H413 PREP me , and I will give H5414 thy flesh H1320 unto the fowls H5775 of the air H8064 D-NMD , and to the beasts H929 of the field H7704 D-NMS .
45 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS David H1732 MMS to H413 PREP the Philistine H6430 , Thou H859 PPRO-2MS comest H935 VQPMS to H413 PREP me with a sword H2719 , and with a spear H2595 , and with a shield H3591 : but I H595 W-PPRO-1MS come H935 to H413 PREP thee in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of the armies H4634 of Israel H3478 , whom H834 RPRO thou hast defied H2778 .
46 This H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS will the LORD H3068 EDS deliver H5462 thee into mine hand H3027 B-CFS-1MS ; and I will smite H5221 thee , and take H5493 thine head H7218 from thee ; and I will give H5414 the carcasses H6297 of the host H4264 of the Philistines H6430 this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS unto the fowls H5775 of the air H8064 D-NMD , and to the wild beasts H2416 of the earth H776 D-GFS ; that all H3605 NMS the earth H776 D-GFS may know H3045 that H3588 CONJ there is H3426 PART a God H430 EDP in Israel H3478 .
47 And all H3605 NMS this H2088 D-PMS assembly H6951 shall know H3045 that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS saveth H3467 not H3808 NADV with sword H2719 and spear H2595 : for H3588 CONJ the battle H4421 is the LORD H3068 L-EDS \'s , and he will give H5414 W-VQQ3MS you into our hands H3027 .
48 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when H3588 CONJ the Philistine H6430 arose H6965 , and came H1980 W-VQY3MS and drew nigh H7126 W-VQY3MS to meet H7125 David H1732 MMS , that David H1732 MMS hasted H4116 , and ran H7323 toward the army H4634 to meet H7125 the Philistine H6430 .
49 And David H1732 MMS put H7971 W-VQY3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS in H413 PREP his bag H3627 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS thence H8033 M-ADV a stone H68 GFS , and slung H7049 it , and smote H5221 W-VHY3MS the Philistine H6430 in H413 PREP his forehead H4696 , that the stone H68 GFS sunk H2883 into his forehead H4696 ; and he fell H5307 W-VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP his face H6440 CMP-3MS to the earth H776 NFS-3FS .
50 So David H1732 MMS prevailed H2388 over H4480 PREP the Philistine H6430 with a sling H7050 and with a stone H68 , and smote H5221 W-VHY3MS the Philistine H6430 , and slew H4191 him ; but there was no H369 NPAR sword H2719 in the hand H3027 B-CFS of David H1732 .
51 Therefore David H1732 MMS ran H7323 , and stood H5975 W-VQY3MS upon H413 PREP the Philistine H6430 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS his sword H2719 , and drew H8025 it out of the sheath H8593 thereof , and slew H4191 him , and cut off H3772 his head H7218 CMS-3MS therewith . And when the Philistines H6430 saw H7200 W-VQY3MP their champion H1368 was dead H4191 , they fled H5127 .
52 And the men H376 CMP of Israel H3478 and of Judah H3063 arose H6965 , and shouted H7321 , and pursued H7291 the Philistines H6430 , until H5704 PREP thou come H935 to the valley H1516 , and to H5704 PREP the gates H8179 CMP of Ekron H6138 . And the wounded H2491 of the Philistines H6430 fell down H5307 W-VQY3MP by the way H1870 B-NMS to Shaaraim H8189 , even unto H5704 PREP Gath H1661 , and unto H5704 PREP Ekron H6138 .
53 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 returned H7725 W-VUY3MP from chasing H1814 after H310 PREP the Philistines H6430 , and they spoiled H8155 their tents H4264 .
54 And David H1732 MMS took H3947 W-VQY3MS the head H7218 NMS of the Philistine H6430 , and brought H935 it to Jerusalem H3389 ; but he put H7760 VQQ3MS his armor H3627 in his tent H168 B-CMS-3MS .
55 And when Saul H7586 saw H7200 David H1732 MMS go forth H3318 VQPMS against H7125 the Philistine H6430 , he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Abner H74 , the captain H8269 of the host H6635 , Abner H74 , whose H4310 IPRO son H1121 is this H2088 DPRO youth H5288 ? And Abner H74 said H559 W-VQY3MS , As thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , O king H4428 D-NMS , I cannot H518 PART tell H3045 .
56 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Inquire H7592 VQI2MS thou H859 PPRO-2MS whose H4310 IPRO son H1121 the stripling H5958 is .
57 And as David H1732 MMS returned H7725 from the slaughter H5221 of the Philistine H6430 , Abner H74 took H3947 W-VQY3MS him , and brought H935 him before H6440 L-CMP Saul H7586 with the head H7218 of the Philistine H6430 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS .
58 And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP-3MS him , Whose H4310 IPRO son H1121 art thou H859 PPRO-2MS , thou young man H5288 ? And David H1732 MMS answered H559 W-VQY3MS , I am the son H1121 of thy servant H5650 Jesse H3448 the Bethlehemite H1022 .
