17:23. And as he talked with them, that baseborn man, whose name was
Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp
of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David
heard them,
17:24. And all the Israelites, when they saw the man, fled from his
face, fearing him exceedingly.
17:25. And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come
up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him,
the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter,
and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel.
17:26. And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall
be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away
the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that
he should defy the armies of the living God?
17:27. And the people answered him the same words, saying: These things
shall be given to the man that shall slay him.
17:28. Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was
speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why camest thou
hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know
thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to
see the battle.
17:29. And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak?
17:30. And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the
same word. And the people answered him as before.
17:31. And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed
before Saul.
17:32. And when he was brought to Saul, he said to him. Let not any
man's heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight
against the Philistine.
17:33. And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this
Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is
a warrior from his youth.
17:34. And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and
there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the
flock:
17:35. And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out
of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the
throat, and I strangled, and killed them.
17:36. For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this
uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now,
and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised
Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God?
17:37. And David said: The Lord who delivered me out of the paw of the
lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand
of this Philistine. And Saul said to David: Go, and the Lord be with
thee.
17:38. And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of
brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail.
17:39. And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try
if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David
said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid
them off,
17:40. And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and
chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the
shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his
hand, and went forth against the Philistine.
17:41. And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his
armourbearer went before him.
17:42. And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised
him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance.
