Now the Philistines
gathered together
their armies
to battle,
and were gathered together
at Shochoh,
which belongeth to Judah,
and pitched
between Shochoh
and Azekah,
in Ephesdammim.

And Saul
and the men
of Israel
were gathered together,
and pitched
by the valley
of Elah,
and set the battle
in array
against
the Philistines.
And the Philistines
stood
on a mountain
on the one side, and Israel
stood
on a mountain
on the other side: and there was a valley
between them.
And there went out
a champion
out of the camp
of the Philistines,
named
Goliath,
of Gath,
whose height
was six
cubits
and a span.

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.

this day;

When Saul
and all Israel
heard
those words
of the Philistine,
they were dismayed,
and greatly
afraid.
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.
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.
And David
was the youngest:
and the three
eldest
followed
Saul.
But David
went
and returned
from Saul
to feed
his father's
sheep
at Bethlehem.
And the Philistine
drew near
morning
and evening,
and presented
himself forty
days.
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;
And carry
these ten
cheeses
unto the captain
of their thousand,
and look
how thy brethren
fare,
and take
their pledge.
Now Saul,
and they, and all the men
of Israel,
were in the valley
of Elah,
fighting
with the Philistines.
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.
For Israel
and the Philistines
had put the battle in array,
army
against
army.
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.
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.
And all the men
of Israel,
when they saw
the man,
fled
from him,
and were sore
afraid.
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.
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?
And the people
answered
him after this manner,
saying,
So shall it be done
to the man
that killeth
him.
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.
And David
said,
What have I now done?
Is there not a cause?
And he turned
from him
toward
another,
and spake
after the same manner:
and the people
answered
him again
after the former
manner.
And when the words
were heard
which David
spake,
they rehearsed
them before
Saul:
and he sent
for him.
And David
said
to Saul,
Let no man's
heart
fail
because of him; thy servant
will go
and fight
with this Philistine.

And David
said
unto Saul,
Thy servant
kept
his father's

and there came
a lion,
and a bear,
and took
a lamb
out of the flock:
say
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.

David
said
moreover, The LORD
that delivered

and out of the paw

he will deliver

of this Philistine.
And Saul
said
unto David,
Go,
and the LORD
be with thee.

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.
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.

And he took

and his sling
was in his hand:
and he drew near
to the Philistine.

And the Philistine
came
on
and drew near
unto David;
and the man
that bare
the shield
went before
him.
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.
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.

Then said

Thou comest

and with a shield:
but I come
to thee in the name

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

And the children
of Israel
returned
from chasing
after
the Philistines,
and they spoiled
their tents.
And David
took
the head
of the Philistine,
and brought
it to Jerusalem;
but he put
his armour
in his tent.
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.
And the king
said,
Enquire
thou whose son
the stripling
is.
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.
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.
