42 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.
483 And the Philistine said unto David, “Am £€ a dog, that thou comest to me with xstaves?” And the Philistine cursed -David by his gods.
44 And the Philistine said to David, “.sCome to me, and I will_give thy flesh unto the_fowls_of the /=air, and to the_ beasts_of the field.”
45 Then said David to the Philistine, “Thon comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but £ come to thee in the_name-_of ! the Lorp of_hosts, the_=God_of the_armies_of Is- raél, whom thou shast_r defied.
46 xThis xday will J the Lorn s deliver thee into mine hand; and I -will_smite thee, and -take thine “head from thee; and I -will_give the_carcases_of the_ host_of the Philistines xthis xday unto the_fowls_of the /=air, and to the_wild_ beasts_of the earth; that all the earth may_know ‘that there is a =God in Israél. \
47 And all xthis xassembly shall_know that J the Lorp tsaveth not with sword and spear : for the battle is ‘the Lorp’s, and He -will_give =po1 into our hands.”
48 And it *came_to_pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew_ nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his “hand in his xbag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote «the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead ; and he fell upon his face to_the_earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Phi- listine with a xsling and with a «stone, and smote -the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the_ hand_of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood up- onthe Philistine, and took his «sword, and drew it out_of the_sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut_off his “head therewith. And when the Philistines sae their ™ champion was_dead, they fled.
52 And the_«men_of Israél and of Judah arose, and shouted, and ‘pur- sued to the valley, and to the_gates_of Ekron. And the_wounded_ofthe Philistines fell_ down by the_way_to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
53 And the_schildren_of Israél_re- turned from chasing after the Philis- tines, and they spoiled their -tents.
54 And David took -the_head_of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem ; but he put his -armour in his tent.
55 And when Saul saw «David «go_
unto Abner, the_captain_of the host, “Abner, whose son is this xyouth?” And Abner said, “As thy soul liveth, O_king, I cannot tell.”
*6 And the king said, “-Inquire thon whose son the stripling is.”
57 And as David returned from the slaughter _of «the Philistine, Abner
forth against the Philistine, he said | h
