1Now the Philistinesgathered togethertheir armiesto battle,and were gathered togetherat Shochoh,which [belongeth] to Judah,and pitchedbetween Shochohand Azekah,in Ephesdammim.2And Sauland the menof Israelwere gathered together,and pitchedby the valleyof Elah,and set the battlein arrayagainstthe Philistines.3And the Philistinesstoodon a mountainon the one side, and Israelstoodon a mountainon the other side: and [there was] a valleybetween them.4And there went outa championout of the campof the Philistines,namedGoliath,of Gath,whose height[was] sixcubitsand a span.5And [he had] an helmetof brassupon his head,and he [was] armedwith a coatof mail;and the weightof the coat[was] fivethousandshekelsof brass.6And [he had] greavesof brassupon his legs,and a targetof brassbetween his shoulders.7And the staffof his spear[was] like a weaver'sbeam;and his spear'shead[weighed] sixhundredshekelsof iron:and one bearinga shieldwentbeforehim.8And he stoodand criedunto the armiesof Israel,and saidunto them, Why are ye come outto set [your] battlein array?[am] not I a Philistine,and ye servantsto Saul?chooseyou a manfor you, and let him come downto me.9If he be ableto fightwith me, and to killme, then will we be your servants:but if I prevailagainst him, and killhim, then shall ye be our servants,and serveus.10And the Philistinesaid,I defythe armiesof Israelthis day;giveme a man,that we may fighttogether.11When Sauland all Israelheardthose wordsof the Philistine,they were dismayed,and greatlyafraid.

Jesse Sends David

12Now David[was] the sonof that Ephrathiteof Bethlehemjudah,whose name[was] Jesse;and he had eightsons:and the manwentamong men[for] an old manin the daysof Saul.13And the threeeldestsonsof Jessewent[and] followedSaulto the battle:and the namesof his threesonsthat wentto the battle[were] Eliabthe firstborn,and nextunto him Abinadab,and the thirdShammah.14And David[was] the youngest:and the threeeldestfollowedSaul.15But Davidwentand returnedfrom Saulto feedhis father'ssheepat Bethlehem.16And the Philistinedrew nearmorningand evening,and presentedhimself fortydays.

17And Jessesaidunto Davidhis son,Takenow for thy brethrenan ephahof thisparched[corn], and these tenloaves,and runto the campto thy brethren;18And carrythese tencheesesunto the captainof [their] thousand,and lookhow thy brethrenfare,and taketheir pledge.19Now Saul,and they, and all the menof Israel,[were] in the valleyof Elah,fightingwith the Philistines.

David Accepts the Challenge

20And Davidrose up earlyin the morning,and leftthe sheepwith a keeper,and took,and went,as Jessehad commandedhim; and he cameto the trench,as the hostwas going forthto the fight,and shoutedfor the battle.21For Israeland the Philistineshad put the battle in array,armyagainstarmy.22And Davidlefthis carriagein the handof the keeperof the carriage,and raninto the army,and cameand salutedhis brethren.23And as he talkedwith them, behold, there came upthe champion,the Philistineof Gath,Goliathby name,out of the armiesof the Philistines,and spakeaccording to the samewords:and Davidheard[them].

24And all the menof Israel,when they sawthe man,fledfrom him,and were soreafraid.25And the menof Israelsaid,Have ye seenthis manthat is come up?surely to defyIsraelis he come up:and it shall be, [that] the manwho killethhim, the kingwill enrichhim with greatriches,and will givehim his daughter,and makehis father'shousefreein Israel.

26And Davidspaketo the menthat stoodby him, saying,What shall be doneto the manthat killeththisPhilistine,and taketh awaythe reproachfrom Israel?for who [is] this uncircumcisedPhilistine,that he should defythe armiesof the livingGod?27And the peopleansweredhim after this manner,saying,So shall it be doneto the manthat killethhim.

28And Eliabhis eldestbrotherheardwhen he spakeunto the men;and Eliab'sangerwas kindledagainst David,and he said,Why camest thou downhither? and with whom hast thou leftthosefewsheepin the wilderness?I knowthy pride,and the naughtinessof thine heart;for thou art come downthat thou mightest seethe battle.29And Davidsaid,What have I now done?[Is there] not a cause?30And he turnedfrom himtowardanother,and spakeafter the same manner:and the peopleansweredhim againafter the formermanner.

David Slays Goliath

31And when the wordswere heardwhich Davidspake,they rehearsed[them] beforeSaul:and he sentfor him.32And Davidsaidto Saul,Let no man'sheartfailbecause of him; thy servantwill goand fightwith this Philistine.33And Saulsaidto David,Thou art not ableto goagainst this Philistineto fightwith him: for thou [art but] a youth,and he a manof warfrom his youth.34And Davidsaidunto Saul,Thy servantkepthis father'ssheep,and there camea lion,and a bear,and tooka lambout of the flock:35And I went outafterhim, and smotehim, and delivered[it] out of his mouth:and when he aroseagainst me, I caught[him] by his beard,and smotehim, and slewhim.36Thy servantslewboth the lionand the bear:and this uncircumcisedPhilistineshall be as oneof them, seeing he hath defiedthe armiesof the livingGod.37Davidsaidmoreover, The LORDthat deliveredme out of the pawof the lion,and out of the pawof the bear,he will deliverme out of the handof this Philistine.And Saulsaidunto David,Go,and the LORDbe with thee.38And SaularmedDavidwith his armour,and he putan helmetof brassupon his head;also he armedhim with a coat of mail.39And Davidgirdedhis swordupon his armour,and he assayedto go;for he had not proved[it]. And Davidsaidunto Saul,I cannotgowith these; for I have not proved[them]. And Davidputthem off him.40And he tookhis staffin his hand,and chosehim fivesmoothstonesout of the brook,and putthem in a shepherd'sbagwhich he had, even in a scrip;and his sling[was] in his hand:and he drew nearto the Philistine.

41And the Philistinecameonand drew nearunto David;and the manthat barethe shield[went] beforehim.42And when the Philistinelooked about,and sawDavid,he disdainedhim: for he was [but] a youth,and ruddy,and of a faircountenance.43And the Philistinesaidunto David,[Am] I a dog,that thou comestto me with staves?And the PhilistinecursedDavidby his gods.44And the Philistinesaidto David,Cometo me, and I will givethy fleshunto the fowlsof the air,and to the beastsof the field.45Then saidDavidto the Philistine,Thou comestto me with a sword,and with a spear,and with a shield:but I cometo thee in the nameof the LORDof hosts,the Godof the armiesof Israel,whom thou hast defied.46This daywill the LORDdeliverthee into mine hand;and I will smitethee, and takethine headfrom thee; and I will givethe carcasesof the hostof the Philistinesthis dayunto the fowlsof the air,and to the wild beastsof the earth;that all the earthmay knowthat there isa Godin Israel.47And all this assemblyshall knowthat the LORDsavethnot with swordand spear:for the battle[is] the LORD'S,and he will giveyou into our hands.

48And it came to pass, when the Philistinearose,and cameand drew nighto meetDavid,that Davidhasted,and rantoward the armyto meetthe Philistine.49And Davidputhis handin his bag,and tookthence a stone,and slang[it], and smotethe Philistinein his forehead,that the stonesunkinto his forehead;and he fellupon his faceto the earth.

50So Davidprevailedoverthe Philistinewith a slingand with a stone,and smotethe Philistine,and slewhim; but [there was] no swordin the handof David.51Therefore Davidran,and stoodupon the Philistine,and tookhis sword,and drewit out of the sheaththereof, and slewhim, and cut offhis headtherewith. And when the Philistinessawtheir championwas dead,they fled.52And the menof Israeland of Judaharose,and shouted,and pursuedthe Philistines,until thou cometo the valley,and to the gatesof Ekron.And the woundedof the Philistinesfell downby the wayto Shaaraim,even unto Gath,and unto Ekron.53And the childrenof Israelreturnedfrom chasingafterthe Philistines,and they spoiledtheir tents.54And Davidtookthe headof the Philistine,and broughtit to Jerusalem;but he puthis armourin his tent.

Saul Notices David

55And when SaulsawDavidgo forthagainstthe Philistine,he saidunto Abner,the captainof the host,Abner,whose son[is] this youth?And Abnersaid,[As] thy soulliveth,O king,I cannottell.56And the kingsaid,Enquirethou whose sonthe stripling[is].57And as Davidreturnedfrom the slaughterof the Philistine,Abnertookhim, and broughthim beforeSaulwith the headof the Philistinein his hand.58And Saulsaidto him, Whose son[art] thou, [thou] young man?And Davidanswered,I [am] the sonof thy servantJessethe Bethlehemite.
