Now the PhilistinesH6430 gathered togetherH622 their armiesH4264 to battleH4421, and were gathered togetherH622 at ShochohH7755, which belongeth to JudahH3063, and pitchedH2583 between ShochohH7755 and AzekahH5825, in EphesdammimH658. {Ephesdammim: or, the coast of Dammim, called Pasdammim}
And SaulH7586 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gathered togetherH622, and pitchedH2583 by the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, and set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the PhilistinesH6430. {set…: Heb. ranged the battle}
And the PhilistinesH6430 stoodH5975 on a mountainH2022 on the one side, and IsraelH3478 stoodH5975 on a mountainH2022 on the other side: and there was a valleyH1516 between them.
And there went outH3318 a championH376+H1143 out of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239.
And he had an helmetH3553 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218, and he was armedH3847 with a coatH8302 of mailH7193; and the weightH4948 of the coatH8302 was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of brassH5178. {armed: Heb. clothed}
And he had greavesH4697 of brassH5178 upon his legsH7272, and a targetH3591 of brassH5178 between his shouldersH3802. {target: or, gorget}
And the staffH6086+H2671 of his spearH2595 was like a weaver'sH707 beamH4500; and his spear'sH2595 headH3852 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270: and one bearingH5375 a shieldH6793 wentH1980 beforeH6440 him.
And he stoodH5975 and criedH7121 unto the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, Why are ye come outH3318 to set your battleH4421 in arrayH6186? am not I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? chooseH1262 you a manH376 for you, and let him come downH3381 to me.
If he be ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me, and to killH5221 me, then will we be your servantsH5650: but if I prevailH3201 against him, and killH5221 him, then shall ye be our servantsH5650, and serveH5647 us.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376, that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.
When SaulH7586 and all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 those wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865, and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.
Now DavidH1732 was the sonH1121 of that EphrathiteH376+H673 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063, whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448; and he had eightH8083 sonsH1121: and the manH376 wentH935 among menH582 for an old manH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586.
And the threeH7969 eldestH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 wentH3212 and followedH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421: and the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 that wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and nextH4932 unto him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048.
And DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996: and the threeH7969 eldestH1419 followedH1980+H310 SaulH7586.
But DavidH1732 wentH1980 and returnedH7725 from SaulH7586 to feedH7462 his father'sH1 sheepH6629 at BethlehemH1035.
And the PhilistineH6430 drew nearH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150, and presentedH3320 himself fortyH705 daysH3117.
And JesseH3448 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 now for thy brethrenH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 parchedH7039 corn, and these tenH6235 loavesH3899, and runH7323 to the campH4264 to thy brethrenH251;
And carryH935 these tenH6235 cheesesH2461+H2757 unto the captainH8269 of their thousandH505, and lookH6485 how thy brethrenH251 fareH7965, and takeH3947 their pledgeH6161. {cheeses: Heb. cheeses of milk} {of…: Heb. of a thousand}
Now SaulH7586, and they, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, were in the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, fightingH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430.
And DavidH1732 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and leftH5203 the sheepH6629 with a keeperH8104, and tookH5375, and wentH3212, as JesseH3448 had commandedH6680 him; and he cameH935 to the trenchH4570, as the hostH2428 was going forthH3318 to the fightH4634, and shoutedH7321 for the battleH4421. {trench: or, place of the carriage} {fight: or, battle array, or, place of fight}
For IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 had put the battle in arrayH6186, armyH4634 againstH7125 armyH4634.
And DavidH1732 leftH5203 his carriageH3627 in the handH3027 of the keeperH8104 of the carriageH3627, and ranH7323 into the armyH4634, and cameH935 and salutedH7592+H7965 his brethrenH251. {his carriage: Heb. the vessels from upon him} {saluted…: Heb. asked his brethren of peace}
And as he talkedH1696 with them, behold, there came upH5927 the championH376+H1143, the PhilistineH6430 of GathH1661, GoliathH1555 by nameH8034, out of the armiesH4634+H4630 of the PhilistinesH6430, and spakeH1696 according to the sameH428 wordsH1697: and DavidH1732 heardH8085 them.
And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, when they sawH7200 the manH376, fledH5127 from himH6440, and were soreH3966 afraidH3372. {from…: Heb. from his face}
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Have ye seenH7200 this manH376 that is come upH5927? surely to defyH2778 IsraelH3478 is he come upH5927: and it shall be, that the manH376 who killethH5221 him, the kingH4428 will enrichH6238 him with greatH1419 richesH6239, and will giveH5414 him his daughterH1323, and makeH6213 his father'sH1 houseH1004 freeH2670 in IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the menH582 that stoodH5975 by him, sayingH559, What shall be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 thisH1975 PhilistineH6430, and taketh awayH5493 the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430?
And the peopleH5971 answeredH559 him after this mannerH1697, sayingH559, So shall it be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 him.
And EliabH446 his eldestH1419 brotherH251 heardH8085 when he spakeH1696 unto the menH582; and Eliab'sH446 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against DavidH1732, and he saidH559, Why camest thou downH3381 hither? and with whom hast thou leftH5203 thoseH2007 fewH4592 sheepH6629 in the wildernessH4057? I knowH3045 thy prideH2087, and the naughtinessH7455 of thine heartH3824; for thou art come downH3381 that thou mightest seeH7200 the battleH4421.
And DavidH1732 saidH559, What have I now doneH6213? Is there not a causeH1697?
And he turnedH5437 from himH681 towardH4136 anotherH312, and spakeH559 after the same mannerH1697: and the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 him againH7725 after the formerH7223 mannerH1697. {manner: Heb. word}
And when the wordsH1697 were heardH8085 which DavidH1732 spakeH1696, they rehearsedH5046 them beforeH6440 SaulH7586: and he sentH3947 for him. {sent…: Heb. took him}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Let no man'sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 because of him; thy servantH5650 will goH3212 and fightH3898 with this PhilistineH6430.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art not ableH3201 to goH3212 against this PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 with him: for thou art but a youthH5288, and he a manH376 of warH4421 from his youthH5271.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 keptH7462 his father'sH1 sheepH6629, and there cameH935 a lionH738, and a bearH1677, and tookH5375 a lambH7716+H2089 out of the flockH5739: {lamb: or, kid}
And I went outH3318 afterH310 him, and smoteH5221 him, and deliveredH5337 it out of his mouthH6310: and when he aroseH6965 against me, I caughtH2388 him by his beardH2206, and smoteH5221 him, and slewH4191 him.
Thy servantH5650 slewH5221 both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall be as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.
DavidH1732 saidH559 moreover, The LORDH3068 that deliveredH5337 me out of the pawH3027 of the lionH738, and out of the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337 me out of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, GoH3212, and the LORDH3068 be with thee.
And SaulH7586 armedH3847 DavidH1732 with his armourH4055, and he putH5414 an helmetH6959 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218; also he armedH3847 him with a coat of mailH8302. {armed David…: Heb. clothed David with his clothes}
And DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 upon his armourH4055, and he assayedH2974 to goH3212; for he had not provedH5254 it. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I cannotH3201 goH3212 with these; for I have not provedH5254 them. And DavidH1732 putH5493 them off him.
And he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977 him fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 out of the brookH5158, and putH7760 them in a shepherd'sH7462 bagH3627 which he had, even in a scripH3219; and his slingH7050 was in his handH3027: and he drew nearH5066 to the PhilistineH6430. {brook: or, valley} {bag: Heb. vessel}
And the PhilistineH6430 cameH3212 onH1980 and drew nearH7131 unto DavidH1732; and the manH376 that bareH5375 the shieldH6793 went beforeH6440 him.
And when the PhilistineH6430 looked aboutH5027, and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdainedH959 him: for he was but a youthH5288, and ruddyH132, and of a fairH3303 countenanceH4758.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comestH935 to me with stavesH4731? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, ComeH3212 to me, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comestH935 to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a shieldH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778.
This dayH3117 will the LORDH3068 deliverH5462 thee into mine handH3027; and I will smiteH5221 thee, and takeH5493 thine headH7218 from thee; and I will giveH5414 the carcasesH6297 of the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the wild beastsH2416 of the earthH776; that all the earthH776 may knowH3045 that there isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478. {deliver…: Heb. shut thee up}
And all this assemblyH6951 shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 savethH3467 not with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is the LORD'SH3068, and he will giveH5414 you into our handsH3027.
And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and cameH3212 and drew nighH7126 to meetH7125 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hastedH4116, and ranH7323 toward the armyH4634 to meetH7125 the PhilistineH6430.
And DavidH1732 putH7971 his handH3027 in his bagH3627, and tookH3947 thence a stoneH68, and slangH7049 it, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696, that the stoneH68 sunkH2883 into his foreheadH4696; and he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776.
So DavidH1732 prevailedH2388 overH4480 the PhilistineH6430 with a slingH7050 and with a stoneH68, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and slewH4191 him; but there was no swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732.
Therefore DavidH1732 ranH7323, and stoodH5975 upon the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947 his swordH2719, and drewH8025 it out of the sheathH8593 thereof, and slewH4191 him, and cut offH3772 his headH7218 therewith. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 their championH1368 was deadH4191, they fledH5127.
And the menH582 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965, and shoutedH7321, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, until thou comeH935 to the valleyH1516, and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fell downH5307 by the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, even unto GathH1661, and unto EkronH6138.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 from chasingH1814 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430, and they spoiledH8155 their tentsH4264.
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430, and broughtH935 it to JerusalemH3389; but he putH7760 his armourH3627 in his tentH168.
And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 DavidH1732 go forthH3318 againstH7125 the PhilistineH6430, he saidH559 unto AbnerH74, the captainH8269 of the hostH6635, AbnerH74, whose sonH1121 is this youthH5288? And AbnerH74 saidH559, As thy soulH5315 livethH2416, O kingH4428, I cannotH518 tellH3045.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, EnquireH7592 thou whose sonH1121 the striplingH5958 is.
And as DavidH1732 returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, AbnerH74 tookH3947 him, and broughtH935 him beforeH6440 SaulH7586 with the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430 in his handH3027.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to him, Whose sonH1121 art thou, thou young manH5288? And DavidH1732 answeredH559, I am the sonH1121 of thy servantH5650 JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022.

And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the menH582 that stoodH5975 by him, sayingH559, What shall be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 thisH1975 PhilistineH6430, and taketh awayH5493 the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430?
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376, that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.
Whom dost thou pass in beautyH5276? go downH3381, and be thou laidH7901 with the uncircumcisedH6189.
Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086. {the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if…: or, that which is not wood}
And they shall not lieH7901 with the mightyH1368 that are fallenH5307 of the uncircumcisedH6189, which are gone downH3381 to hellH7585 with their weaponsH3627 of warH4421: and they have laidH5414 their swordsH2719 under their headsH7218, but their iniquitiesH5771 shall be upon their bonesH6106, though they were the terrorH2851 of the mightyH1368 in the landH776 of the livingH2416. {with their…: Heb. with weapons of their war}
Yea, thou shalt be brokenH7665 in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189, and shalt lieH7901 with them that are slainH2491 with the swordH2719.
There is EdomH123, her kingsH4428, and all her princesH5387, which with their mightH1369 are laidH5414 by them that were slainH2491 by the swordH2719: they shall lieH7901 with the uncircumcisedH6189, and with them that go downH3381 to the pitH953. {laid: Heb. given, or, put}
There be the princesH5257 of the northH6828, all of them, and all the ZidoniansH6722, which are gone downH3381 with the slainH2491; with their terrorH2851 they are ashamedH954 of their mightH1369; and they lieH7901 uncircumcisedH6189 with them that be slainH2491 by the swordH2719, and bearH5375 their shameH3639 with them that go downH3381 to the pitH953.
PharaohH6547 shall seeH7200 them, and shall be comfortedH5162 over all his multitudeH1995, even PharaohH6547 and all his armyH2428 slainH2491 by the swordH2719, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
For I have causedH5414 my terrorH2851 in the landH776 of the livingH2416: and he shall be laidH7901 in the midstH8432 of the uncircumcisedH6189 with them that are slainH2491 with the swordH2719, even PharaohH6547 and all his multitudeH1995, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Now therefore give pledgesH6148, I pray thee, to my masterH113 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and I will giveH5414 thee two thousandH505 horsesH5483, if thou be ableH3201 on thy part to setH5414 ridersH7392 upon them. {pledges: or, hostages}
How then wilt thou turn awayH7725 the faceH6440 of oneH259 captainH6346 of the leastH6996 of my master'sH113 servantsH5650, and put thy trustH982 on EgyptH4714 for chariotsH7393 and for horsemenH6571?
And am I now come upH5927 withoutH1107 the LORDH3068 against this landH776 to destroyH7843 it? the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Go upH5927 against this landH776, and destroyH7843 it.
ForG1063 he isG2076 notG3756 a JewG2453, which is one outwardlyG1722+G5318; neitherG3761 is that circumcisionG4061, which is outwardG1722+G5318 inG1722 the fleshG4561:
Neither let HezekiahH2396 make you trustH982 in the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will surelyH5337 deliverH5337 us: this cityH5892 shall not be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804.
ButG235 he is a JewG2453, which is one inwardlyG1722+G2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
Beware lest HezekiahH2396 persuadeH5496 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will deliverH5337 us. Hath anyH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 his landH776 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
This is the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 concerning him; The virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, hath despisedH959 thee, and laughed thee to scorn;H3932 the daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389 hath shakenH5128 her headH7218 at theeH310.
Whom hast thou reproachedH2778 and blasphemedH1442? and against whom hast thou exaltedH7311 thy voiceH6963, and lifted upH5375 thine eyesH5869 on highH4791? even against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
But I knowH3045 thy abodeH3427, and thy going outH3318, and thy coming inH935, and thy rageH7264 against me. {abode: or, sitting}
Because thy rageH7264 against me, and thy tumultH7600, is come upH5927 into mine earsH241, therefore will I putH7760 my hookH2397 in thy noseH639, and my bridleH4964 in thy lipsH8193, and I will turn thee backH7725 by the wayH1870 by which thou camestH935.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; AfterH310 the gloryH3519 hath he sentH7971 me unto the nationsH1471 which spoiledH7997 you: for he that touchethH5060 you touchethH5060 the appleH892 of his eyeH5869.
And in that dayH3117 will I makeH7760 JerusalemH3389 a burdensomeH4614 stoneH68 for all peopleH5971: all that burdenH6006 themselves with it shall be cut in piecesH8295+H8295, though all the peopleH1471 of the earthH776 be gathered togetherH622 against it.
AndG2532 nowG3569 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, RefrainG868 fromG575 theseG5130 menG444, andG2532 letG1439 themG846 aloneG1439: forG3754 ifG1437 thisG3778 counselG1012 orG2228 thisG5124 workG2041 beG5600 ofG1537 menG444, it will come to noughtG2647:
ButG1161 ifG1487 it beG2076 ofG1537 GodG2316, ye cannotG3756+G1410 overthrowG2647 itG846; lest haplyG3379 ye be foundG2147 evenG2532 to fight against GodG2314.
AndG2532 he fellG4098 toG1909 the earthG1093, and heardG191 a voiceG5456 sayingG3004 unto himG846, SaulG4549, SaulG4549, whyG5101 persecutest thouG1377 meG3165?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, WhoG5101 art thouG1488, LordG2962? AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036, IG1473 amG1510 JesusG2424 whomG3739 thouG4771 persecutestG1377: it is hardG4642 for theeG4671 to kickG2979 againstG4314 the pricksG2759.
NowG1161 aboutG2596 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the kingG935 stretched forthG1911 his handsG5495 to vexG2559 certainG5100 ofG575 the churchG1577. {stretched…: or, began}
