09:017:014 And David was the youngest:  and the three eldest followed
           Saul.

09:017:015 But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s
           sheep at Bethlehem.

09:017:016 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and
           presented himself forty days.

09:017:017 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 of thy brethren;

09:017:018 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their
           thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their
           pledge.

09:017:019 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the
           valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

09:017:020 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.

09:017:021 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array,
           army against army.

09:017:022 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.

09:017:023 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.

09:017:024 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from
           him, and were sore afraid.

09:017:025 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.

09:017:026 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?

09:017:027 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So
           shall it be done to the man that killeth him.

09:017:028 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.
