⮜ 1 Samuel 16 | 1 Samuel 18 ⮞

1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephesdammim. 1 Samuel 17:1WEB
2 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. 1 Samuel 17:2WEB
3 The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. 1 Samuel 17:3WEB
4 A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span went out. 1 Samuel 17:4WEB
5 He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. 1 Samuel 17:5WEB
6 He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. 1 Samuel 17:6WEB
7 The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer went before him. 1 Samuel 17:7WEB
8 He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. 1 Samuel 17:8WEB
9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.” 1 Samuel 17:9WEB
10 The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!” 1 Samuel 17:10WEB
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid. 1 Samuel 17:11WEB
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul. 1 Samuel 17:12WEB
13 The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 1 Samuel 17:13WEB
14 David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul. 1 Samuel 17:14WEB
15 Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem. 1 Samuel 17:15WEB
16 The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. 1 Samuel 17:16WEB
17 Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers; 1 Samuel 17:17WEB
18 and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand; and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.” 1 Samuel 17:18WEB
19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 1 Samuel 17:19WEB
20 David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle. 1 Samuel 17:20WEB
21 Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army. 1 Samuel 17:21WEB
22 David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers. 1 Samuel 17:22WEB
23 As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them. 1 Samuel 17:23WEB
24 All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were terrified. 1 Samuel 17:24WEB
25 The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house tax-free in Israel.” 1 Samuel 17:25WEB
26 David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to 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?” 1 Samuel 17:26WEB
27 The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills him.” 1 Samuel 17:27WEB
28 Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? 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 that you might see the battle.” 1 Samuel 17:28WEB
29 David said, “What have I now done? Is there not a cause?” 1 Samuel 17:29WEB
30 He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way. 1 Samuel 17:30WEB
31 When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him. 1 Samuel 17:31WEB
32 David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.” 1 Samuel 17:32WEB
33 Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” 1 Samuel 17:33WEB
34 David said to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 1 Samuel 17:34WEB
35 I went out after him, struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, struck him, and killed him. 1 Samuel 17:35WEB
36 Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.” 1 Samuel 17:36WEB
37 David said, “YHWH, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go! YHWH will be with you.” 1 Samuel 17:37WEB
38 Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail. 1 Samuel 17:38WEB
39 David strapped his sword on his clothing and he tried to move, for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these, for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off. 1 Samuel 17:39WEB
40 He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine. 1 Samuel 17:40WEB
41 The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him. 1 Samuel 17:41WEB
42 When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face. 1 Samuel 17:42WEB
43 The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods. 1 Samuel 17:43WEB
44 The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the field.” 1 Samuel 17:44WEB
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 YHWH of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 1 Samuel 17:45WEB
46 Today, YHWH will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky and to the wild animals of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 1 Samuel 17:46WEB
47 and that all this assembly may know that YHWH doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is YHWH’s, and he will give you into our hand.” 1 Samuel 17:47WEB
48 When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 1 Samuel 17:48WEB
49 David put his hand in his bag, took a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 1 Samuel 17:49WEB
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand. 1 Samuel 17:50WEB
51 Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 1 Samuel 17:51WEB
52 The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron. 1 Samuel 17:52WEB
53 The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp. 1 Samuel 17:53WEB
54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent. 1 Samuel 17:54WEB
55 When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.” 1 Samuel 17:55WEB
56 The king said, “Inquire whose son the young man is!” 1 Samuel 17:56WEB
57 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. 1 Samuel 17:57WEB
58 Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.” 1 Samuel 17:58WEB
