 <div class="p">31What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.</div><div class="p"> 32David said to Saul, &#8220;Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 33Saul replied, &#8220;You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 34But David said to Saul, &#8220;Your servant has been keeping his father&#8217;s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.&#8221;</div><div class="p">Saul said to David, &#8220;Go, and the Lord be with you.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 38Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. 39David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.</div><div class="p">&#8220;I cannot go in these,&#8221; he said to Saul, &#8220;because I am not used to them.&#8221; So he took them off. 40Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd&#8217;s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.</div><div class="p"> 41Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. 42He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. 43He said to David, &#8220;Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?&#8221; And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44&#8220;Come here,&#8221; he said, &#8220;and I&#8217;ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 45David said to the Philistine, &#8220;You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I&#8217;ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. 47All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord&#8217;s, and he will give all of you into our hands.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 48As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.</div><div class="p"> 50So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.</div><div class="p"> 51David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine&#8217;s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.</div><div class="p">When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. 52Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath#17:52 Some Septuagint manuscripts; Hebrew of a valley and to the gates of Ekron. Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron. 53When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.</div><div class="p"> 54David took the Philistine&#8217;s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine&#8217;s weapons in his own tent.</div><div class="p"> 55As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, &#8220;Abner, whose son is that young man?&#8221;</div><div class="p">Abner replied, &#8220;As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 56The king said, &#8220;Find out whose son this young man is.&#8221;</div><div class="p"> 57As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with David still holding the Philistine&#8217;s head.</div><div class="p"> 58&#8220;Whose son are you, young man?&#8221; Saul asked him.</div><div class="p">David said, &#8220;I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.&#8221;</div>
