41. The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
42. When the Philistine looked around, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.
43. The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
44. The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field.”
45. Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46. Today, the Lord will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you, and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
47. and that all this assembly may know that the Lord doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
48. When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried, and ran towards the army to meet the Philistine.
