|
| [1]Now the PhilistinesH6430 gathered togetherH622[H8799] their armiesH4264 to battleH4421, and were gathered togetherH622[H8735] at ShochohH7755, which belongeth to JudahH3063, and pitchedH2583[H8799] between ShochohH7755 and AzekahH5825, in EphesdammimH658. |
[1]Now the Philistines gathered their armies to battle, and came together to Shochoh, which is in Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in the coast of Dammim. |
| [2]And SaulH7586 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gathered togetherH622[H8738], and pitchedH2583[H8799] by the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, and set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186[H8799] againstH7125[H8800] the PhilistinesH6430. |
[2]And Saul, and the men of Israel assembled, and pitched in the valley of Elah, and put themselves in battle array to meet the Philistines. |
| [3]And the PhilistinesH6430 stoodH5975[H8802] on a mountainH2022 on the one side, and IsraelH3478 stoodH5975[H8802] on a mountainH2022 on the other side: and there was a valley between themH1516. |
[3]And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: so a valley was between them. |
| [4]And there went outH3318[H8799] a championH376[H1143] out of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239. |
[4]Then came a man between them both out of the tents of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath: his height was six cubits and an hand breadth, |
| [5]And he had an helmetH3553 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218, and he was armedH3847[H8803] with a coatH8302 of mailH7193; and the weightH4948 of the coatH8302 was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of brassH5178. |
[5]And had an helmet of brass upon his head, and a brigandine upon him: and the weight of his brigandine was five thousand shekels of brass. |
| [6]And he had greavesH4697 of brassH5178 upon his legsH7272, and a targetH3591 of brassH5178 between his shouldersH3802. |
[6]And he had boots of brass upon his legs, and a shield of brass upon his shoulders. |
| [7]And the staffH6086[H8675][H2671] of his spearH2595 was like a weaver'sH707[H8802] beamH4500; and his spear'sH2595 headH3852 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270: and one bearingH5375[H8802] a shieldH6793 wentH1980[H8802] before himH6440. |
[7]And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam: and his spear head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him. |
| [8]And he stoodH5975[H8799] and criedH7121[H8799] unto the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559[H8799] unto them, Why are ye come outH3318[H8799] to set your battleH4421 in arrayH6186[H8800]? am not I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? chooseH1262[H8798] you a manH376 for you, and let him come downH3381 to meH8799. |
[8]And he stood, and cried against the host of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come to set your battle in array? Am not I a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. |
| [9]If he be ableH3201[H8799] to fightH3898[H8736] with me, and to killH5221[H8689] me, then will we be your servantsH5650: but if I prevailH3201[H8799] against him, and killH5221[H8689] him, then shall ye be our servantsH5650, and serveH5647 usH8804. |
[9]If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I overcome him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. |
| [10]And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559[H8799], I defyH2778[H8765] the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414[H8798] me a manH376, that we may fightH3898[H8735] togetherH3162. |
[10]Also the Philistine said, I defy the host of Israel this day: give me a man that we may fight together. |
| [11]When SaulH7586 and all IsraelH3478 heardH8085[H8799] those wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865[H8735], and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.[H8799] |
[11]When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were discouraged, and greatly afraid. |
| [12]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[H8804] among menH582 for an old manH2204[H8804] in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586. |
[12]Now this David was the son of an Ephrathite of Beth-lehem Judah, named Jesse, which had eight sons: and this man was taken for an old man in the days of Saul. |
| [13]And the threeH7969 eldestH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 wentH3212[H8799] and followedH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421: and the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 that wentH1980[H8804] to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and nextH4932 unto him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048. |
[13]And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to battle, were Eliab the eldest, and the next Abinadab, and the third Shammah. |
| [14]And DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996: and the threeH7969 eldestH1419 followedH1980[H8804][H310] SaulH7586. |
[14]So David was the least: and the three eldest went after Saul. ` |
| [15]But DavidH1732 wentH1980[H8802] and returnedH7725[H8802] from SaulH7586 to feedH7462[H8800] his father'sH1 sheepH6629 at BethlehemH1035. |
[15]David also went, but he returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep in Beth-lehem. |
| [16]And the PhilistineH6430 drew nearH5066[H8799] morningH7925[H8687] and eveningH6150[H8687], and presentedH3320[H8691] himself fortyH705 daysH3117. |
[16]And the Philistine drew near in the morning, and evening, and continued forty days. |
| [17]And JesseH3448 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732 his sonH1121, TakeH3947[H8798] now for thy brethrenH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 parchedH7039 corn, and these tenH6235 loavesH3899, and runH7323[H8685] to the campH4264 to thy brethrenH251; |
[17]And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten cakes, and run to the host to thy brethren. |
| [18]And carryH935[H8686] these tenH6235 cheesesH2461[H2757] unto the captainH8269 of their thousandH505, and lookH6485[H8799] how thy brethrenH251 fareH7965, and takeH3947[H8799] their pledgeH6161. |
[18]Also carry these ten fresh cheeses unto the captain, and look how thy brethren fare, and receive their pledge. |
| [19]Now SaulH7586, and they, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, were in the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, fightingH3898[H8737] with the PhilistinesH6430. |
[19](Then Saul and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines) |
| [20]And DavidH1732 rose up earlyH7925[H8686] in the morningH1242, and leftH5203[H8799] the sheepH6629 with a keeperH8104[H8802], and tookH5375[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799], as JesseH3448 had commandedH6680[H8765] him; and he cameH935[H8799] to the trenchH4570, as the hostH2428 was going forthH3318[H8802] to the fightH4634, and shoutedH7321[H8689] for the battleH4421. |
[20]So David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took and went as Jesse had commanded him, and came within the compass of the host: and the host went out in array, and shouted in the battle. |
| [21]For IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 had put the battle in arrayH6186[H8799], armyH4634 againstH7125[H8800] armyH4634. |
[21]For Israel and the Philistines had put themselves in array, army against army. |
| [22]And DavidH1732 leftH5203[H8799] his carriageH3627 in the handH3027 of the keeperH8104[H8802] of the carriageH3627, and ranH7323[H8799] into the armyH4634, and cameH935[H8799] and salutedH7592[H8799][H7965] his brethrenH251. |
[22]And David left the things, which he bear, under the hands of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the host, and came, and asked his brethren how they did. |
| [23]And as he talkedH1696[H8764] with them, behold, there came upH5927[H8802] the championH376[H1143], the PhilistineH6430 of GathH1661, GoliathH1555 by nameH8034, out of the armiesH4634[H8675][H4630] of the PhilistinesH6430, and spakeH1696[H8762] according to the sameH428 wordsH1697: and DavidH1732 heardH8085 themH8799. |
[23]And as he talked with them, behold, the man that was between the two armies, came up, (whose name was Goliath the Philistine of Gath) out of the army of the Philistines, and spake such words, and David heard them. |
| [24]And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, when they sawH7200[H8800] the manH376, fledH5127[H8799] from himH6440, and were soreH3966 afraidH3372.[H8799] |
[24]And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, ran away from him, and were sore afraid. |
| [25]And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559[H8799], Have ye seenH7200[H8804] this manH376 that is come upH5927[H8802]? surely to defyH2778[H8763] IsraelH3478 is he come upH5927[H8802]: and it shall be, that the manH376 who killethH5221[H8686] him, the kingH4428 will enrichH6238[H8686] him with greatH1419 richesH6239, and will giveH5414[H8799] him his daughterH1323, and makeH6213[H8799] his father'sH1 houseH1004 freeH2670 in IsraelH3478. |
[25]For every man of Israel said, Saw ye not this man that cometh up? Even to revile Israel is he come up: and to him that killeth him, will the king give great riches, and will give him his daughter, yea, and make his father's house free in Israel. |
| [26]And DavidH1732 spakeH559[H8799] to the menH582 that stoodH5975[H8802] by him, sayingH559[H8800], What shall be doneH6213[H8735] to the manH376 that killethH5221[H8686] thisH1975 PhilistineH6430, and taketh awayH5493[H8689] the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778[H8765] the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430? |
[26]Then David spake to the men that stood with him, and said, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the shame from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should revile the host of the living God? |
| [27]And the peopleH5971 answeredH559[H8799] him after this mannerH1697, sayingH559[H8800], So shall it be doneH6213[H8735] to the manH376 that killethH5221 himH8686. |
[27]And the people answered him after this manner, saying, Thus shall it be done to the man that killeth him. |
| [28]And EliabH446 his eldestH1419 brotherH251 heardH8085[H8799] when he spakeH1696[H8763] unto the menH582; and Eliab'sH446 angerH639 was kindledH2734[H8799] against DavidH1732, and he saidH559[H8799], Why camest thou downH3381[H8804] hither? and with whom hast thou leftH5203[H8804] thoseH2007 fewH4592 sheepH6629 in the wildernessH4057? I knowH3045[H8804] thy prideH2087, and the naughtinessH7455 of thine heartH3824; for thou art come downH3381[H8804] that thou mightest seeH7200[H8800] the battleH4421. |
[28]And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men, and Eliab was very angry with David, and said, Why camest thou down hither? And with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the malice of thine heart, that thou art come down to see the battle. |
| [29]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], What have I now doneH6213[H8804]? Is there not a causeH1697? |
[29]Then David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? |
| [30]And he turnedH5437[H8735] from himH681 towardH4136 anotherH312, and spakeH559[H8799] after the same mannerH1697: and the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 him againH7725[H8686] after the formerH7223 mannerH1697. |
[30]And he departed from him into the presence of another, and spake of the same manner, and the people answered him according to the former words. |
| [31]And when the wordsH1697 were heardH8085[H8735] which DavidH1732 spakeH1696[H8765], they rehearsedH5046[H8686] them beforeH6440 SaulH7586: and he sentH3947 for himH8799. |
[31]And they that heard the words which David spake, rehearsed them before Saul, which caused him to be brought. |
| [32]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] to SaulH7586, Let no man'sH120 heartH3820 failH5307[H8799] because of him; thy servantH5650 will goH3212[H8799] and fightH3898[H8738] with this PhilistineH6430. |
[32]So David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail him, because of him: thy servant will go, and fight with this Philistine. |
| [33]And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799] to DavidH1732, Thou art not ableH3201[H8799] to goH3212[H8800] against this PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898[H8736] with him: for thou art but a youthH5288, and he a manH376 of warH4421 from his youthH5271. |
[33]And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art a boy, and he is a man of war from his youth. |
| [34]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 keptH7462[H8802] his father'sH1 sheepH6629, and there cameH935[H8804] a lionH738, and a bearH1677, and tookH5375[H8804] a lambH7716[H8675][H2089] out of the flockH5739: |
[34]And David answered unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and likewise a bear, and took a sheep out of the flock, |
| [35]And I went outH3318[H8804] afterH310 him, and smoteH5221[H8689] him, and deliveredH5337[H8689] it out of his mouthH6310: and when he aroseH6965[H8799] against me, I caughtH2388[H8689] him by his beardH2206, and smoteH5221[H8689] him, and slewH4191 himH8689. |
[35]And I went out after him and smote him, and took it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by the beard, and smote him, and slew him. |
| [36]Thy servantH5650 slewH5221[H8689] both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall be as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defiedH2778[H8765] the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430. |
[36]So thy servant slew both the lion, and the bear: therefore this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath railed on the host of the living God. |
| [37]DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] moreover, The LORDH3068 that deliveredH5337[H8689] me out of the pawH3027 of the lionH738, and out of the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337[H8686] me out of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, GoH3212[H8798], and the LORD be with theeH3068. |
[37]Moreover David said, 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. Then Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee. |
| [38]And SaulH7586 armedH3847[H8686] DavidH1732 with his armourH4055, and he putH5414[H8804] an helmetH6959 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218; also he armedH3847[H8686] him with a coat of mailH8302. |
[38]And Saul put his raiment upon David, and put an helmet of brass upon his head, and put a brigandine upon him. |
| [39]And DavidH1732 girdedH2296[H8799] his swordH2719 upon his armourH4055, and he assayedH2974[H8686] to goH3212[H8800]; for he had not provedH5254[H8765] it. And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto SaulH7586, I cannotH3201[H8799] goH3212[H8800] with these; for I have not provedH5254[H8765] them. And DavidH1732 putH5493 them off himH8686. |
[39]Then girded David his sword upon his raiment, and began to go: for he never proved it: and David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these: for I am not accustomed. wherefore David put them off him. |
| [40]And he tookH3947[H8799] his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977[H8799] him fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 out of the brookH5158, and putH7760[H8799] them in a shepherd'sH7462[H8802] bagH3627 which he had, even in a scripH3219; and his slingH7050 was in his handH3027: and he drew nearH5066[H8799] to the PhilistineH6430. |
[40]Then took he his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of a brook, and put them in his shepherd's bag or scrip, and his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine. |
| [41]And the PhilistineH6430 cameH3212[H8799] onH1980[H8802] and drew nearH7131 unto DavidH1732; and the manH376 that bareH5375[H8802] the shieldH6793 went before himH6440. |
[41]And the Philistine came and drew near unto David, and the man that bear the shield went before him. |
| [42]And when the PhilistineH6430 looked aboutH5027[H8686], and sawH7200[H8799] DavidH1732, he disdainedH959[H8799] him: for he was but a youthH5288, and ruddyH132, and of a fairH3303 countenanceH4758. |
[42]Now when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but young, ruddy, and of a comely face. |
| [43]And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559[H8799] unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comestH935[H8802] to me with stavesH4731? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043[H8762] DavidH1732 by his godsH430. |
[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. |
| [44]And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559[H8799] to DavidH1732, ComeH3212[H8798] to me, and I will giveH5414[H8799] thy fleshH1320 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704. |
[44]And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the field. |
| [45]Then saidH559[H8799] DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comestH935[H8802] to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a shieldH3591: but I comeH935[H8802] to thee in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778.[H8765] |
[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 host of Israel, whom thou hast railed upon. |
| [46]This dayH3117 will the LORDH3068 deliverH5462[H8762] thee into mine handH3027; and I will smiteH5221[H8689] thee, and takeH5493[H8689] thine headH7218 from thee; and I will giveH5414[H8804] 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[H8799] that there isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478. |
[46]This day shall the Lord close thee in mine hand, and I shall smite thee, and take thine head from thee, and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth, that all the world may know that Israel hath a God, |
| [47]And all this assemblyH6951 shall knowH3045[H8799] that the LORDH3068 savethH3467[H8686] not with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is the LORD'SH3068, and he will giveH5414[H8804] you into our handsH3027. |
[47]And that all this assembly may know, that the Lord saveth not with sword nor with spear (for the battle is the Lord's) and he will give you into our hands. |
| [48]And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965[H8804], and cameH3212[H8799] and drew nighH7126[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hastedH4116[H8762], and ranH7323[H8799] toward the armyH4634 to meetH7125[H8800] the PhilistineH6430. |
[48]And when the Philistine arose to come and draw near unto David, David hasted and ran to fight against the Philistine. |
| [49]And DavidH1732 putH7971[H8799] his handH3027 in his bagH3627, and tookH3947[H8799] thence a stoneH68, and slangH7049[H8762] it, and smoteH5221[H8686] the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696, that the stoneH68 sunkH2883[H8799] into his foreheadH4696; and he fellH5307[H8799] upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776. |
[49]And David put his hand in his bag, and took out a stone, and slung it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sticked in his forehead, and he fell groveling to the earth. |
| [50]So DavidH1732 prevailedH2388[H8799] overH4480 the PhilistineH6430 with a slingH7050 and with a stoneH68, and smoteH5221[H8686] the PhilistineH6430, and slewH4191[H8686] him; but there was no swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732. |
[50]So David overcame the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him, when David had no sword in his hand. |
| [51]Therefore DavidH1732 ranH7323[H8799], and stoodH5975[H8799] upon the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947[H8799] his swordH2719, and drewH8025[H8799] it out of the sheathH8593 thereof, and slewH4191[H8787] him, and cut offH3772[H8799] his headH7218 therewith. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200[H8799] their championH1368 was deadH4191[H8804], they fledH5127.[H8799] |
[51]Then David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of his sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. So when the Philistines saw, that their champion was dead, they fled. |
| [52]And the menH582 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965[H8799], and shoutedH7321[H8686], and pursuedH7291[H8799] the PhilistinesH6430, until thou comeH935[H8800] to the valleyH1516, and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fell downH5307[H8799] by the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, even unto GathH1661, and unto EkronH6138. |
[52]And the men of Israel and Judah arose, and shouted, and followed after the Philistines, until they came to the valley, and unto the gates of Ekron: and the Philistines fell down wounded by the way of Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron. |
| [53]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725[H8799] from chasingH1814[H8800] afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430, and they spoiledH8155[H8799] their tentsH4264. |
[53]And the children of Israel returned from pursuing the Philistines, and spoiled their tents. |
| [54]And DavidH1732 tookH3947[H8799] the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430, and broughtH935[H8686] it to JerusalemH3389; but he putH7760[H8804] his armourH3627 in his tentH168. |
[54]And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem, and put his armor in his tent. |
| [55]And when SaulH7586 sawH7200[H8800] DavidH1732 go forthH3318[H8802] againstH7125[H8800] the PhilistineH6430, he saidH559[H8804] unto AbnerH74, the captainH8269 of the hostH6635, AbnerH74, whose sonH1121 is this youthH5288? And AbnerH74 saidH559[H8799], As thy soulH5315 livethH2416, O kingH4428, I cannotH518 tellH3045.[H8804] |
[55]When Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner the captain of his host, Abner, whose son is this young man? And Abner answered, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. |
| [56]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], EnquireH7592[H8798] thou whose sonH1121 the stripling isH5958. |
[56]Then the king said, Inquire thou whose son this young man is. |
| [57]And as DavidH1732 returnedH7725[H8800] from the slaughterH5221[H8687] of the PhilistineH6430, AbnerH74 tookH3947[H8799] him, and broughtH935[H8686] him beforeH6440 SaulH7586 with the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430 in his handH3027. |
[57]And when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, then Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. |
| [58]And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799] to him, Whose sonH1121 art thou, thou young manH5288? And DavidH1732 answeredH559[H8799], I am the sonH1121 of thy servantH5650 JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022. |
[58]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. |
