09:017:029 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
09:017:030 And he turned from him toward another,
and spake after the
same
manner: and the people answered him again after
the
former
manner.
09:017:031 And when the words were heard which David
spake, they
rehearsed
them before Saul: and he sent for him.
09:017:032 And David said to Saul, Let no man’s
heart fail because of
him;
thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
09:017:033 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able
to go against this
Philistine
to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and
he
a
man of war from his youth.
09:017:034 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept
his father’s sheep,
and
there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out
of the
flock:
09:017:035 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.
09:017:036 Thy servant slew both the lion and the
bear: and this
uncircumcised
Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he
hath
defied the armies of the living God.
09:017:037 David said moreover, 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. And Saul said
unto
David,
Go, and the lord be with thee.
09:017:038 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.
09:017:039 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.
09:017:040 And he took his staff in his hand, and
chose him five smooth
stones
out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s
bag
which
he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand:
and
he drew near to the Philistine.
09:017:041 And the Philistine came on and drew near
unto David; and the
man
that bare the shield went before him.
09:017:042 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.
09:017:043 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.
09:017:044 And the Philistine said to David, Come
to me, and I will give
thy
flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts
of the
field.
