assembled at Socho of Juda: and camped between Socho and Azeca, in the
borders of Dommim.

to the valley of Terebinth, and they set the army in array to fight
against the Philistines.

Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley
between them.
17:4. And there went out a man baseborn from the camp of the
Philistines, named Goliath, of Geth, whose height was six cubits and a
span:
17:5. And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was clothed
with a coat of mail with scales, and the weight of his coat of mail was
five thousand sicles of brass:
17:6. And he had greaves of brass on his legs, and a buckler of brass
covered his shoulders.
17:7. And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and the head
of his spear weighed six hundred sicles of iron: and his armourbearer
went before him.
17:8. And standing, he cried out to the bands of Israel, and said to
them: Why are you come out prepared to fight? am not I a Philistine, and
you the servants of Saul? Choose out a man of you, and let him come down
and fight hand to hand.
17:9. If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants
to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be
servants, and shall serve us.
17:10. And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this
day: give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand.
17:11. And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the
Philistine, were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
17:12. Now David was the son of that Ephrathite, of Bethlehem Juda,
before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an
old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men.
17:13. And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the
names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab, the
firstborn, and the second, Abinadab, and the third Samma:
17:14. But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed
Saul,
17:15. David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father's flock at
Bethlehem.
17:16. Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented
himself forty days.
17:17. And Isai said to David, his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of
frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren,
17:18. And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy
brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed.
17:19. But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel, were in the
valley of Terebinth, fighting against the Philistines.
17:20. David, therefore, arose in the morning, and gave the charge of
the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded, as Isai had commanded
him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was
going out to fight, and shouted for the battle.
17:21. For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who
stood against them were prepared.
17:22. And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the
care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle, and
asked if all things went well with his brethren.
