19. Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

20. 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 place of the wagons, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.

21. And Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.

22. And David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and saluted his brethren.

24. And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
