Choose [G1586] for yourselves [G1438] a man , and [G2532] let him come down [G2597] to [G4314] me [G1473]!
9: And [G2532] if [G1437] he should be able [G1410] to battle [G4170] against [G3326] me [G1473], and [G2532] strike [G3960] me [G1473], then [G2532] we will be to you [G1473] for [G1519] servants [G1401]. But if [G1437][G1161] I [G1473] will overpower [G2616] him [G1473], and [G2532] will strike [G3960] him [G1473], you will be to us [G1473] for [G1519] servants [G1401], and [G2532] you will serve [G1398] us [G1473].
10: And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] Philistine , look [G2400], I [G1473] berate [G3679] the [G3588] battle array of Israel today [G4594] in [G1722] the [G3588] this day [G2250][G3778]. Give [G1325] to me [G1473] a man , and [G2532] we will fight one on one both !

And [G2532] he came [G2064] unto [G1519] the [G3588] battleline and [G2532] the [G3588] army [G1411], the [G3588] [one] going forth [G1607] unto [G1519] the [G3588] battle array .

23: And [G2532] [with] of him '[G1473] speaking [G2980] with [G3326] them [G1473], and [G2532] look [G2400], a man in the [G3588] middle went up (name [G3686] [given] to him [G1473] [was] Goliath the [G3588] Philistine from [G1537] Gath) from [G1537] the [G3588] battle array of the [G3588] Philistines , and [G2532] he spoke [G2980] according to [G2596] the [G3588]se words [G4487][G3778], and [G2532] David heard .
24: And [G2532] every [G3956] man of Israel in [G1722] the [G3588]ir seeing [G1492][G1473] the [G3588] man feared [G5399] greatly [G4970], and [G2532] fled [G5343] from [G1537] his face [G4383].
25: And [G2532] said [G2036] a man from [G1537] Israel], Did [G1487] you see [G3708] the [G3588] man , the [G3588] this one going up [G3778]? so as [G3754] to berate [G3679] the [G3588] Israel He ascended . And [G2532] it will be a man who [G3739] ever should strike [G3960] him [G1473], will enrich [G4147] him [G1473] the [G3588] king riches [G4149] in great [G3173], and [G2532] the [G3588] his daughter [G2364][G1473] he will give [G1325] to him [G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] house [G3624] of the [G3588] his father [G3962][G1473] he will make [G4160] free [G1658] in [G1722] Israel.
26: And [G2532] David said [G2036] to [G4314] the [G3588] men , the [G3588] [ones] standing [G4921] with him [G1473], saying [G3004], What [G5100] will be done [G4160] to the [G3588] man who [G3739] ever should strike [G3960] the [G3588] that Philistine [G1565], and [G2532] should remove scorn [G3681] from Israel?

27: And [G2532] said [G2036] to him [G1473] the [G3588] people [G2992] according to [G2596] the [G3588] this word [G4487][G3778], saying [G3004], Thus [G3779] it will be done [G4160] to the [G3588] man who [G3739] ever should strike [G3960] him [G1473].
28: And [G2532] heard Eliab the [G3588] brother of him '[G1473] the [G3588] older [G3173] in [G1722] the [G3588] his speaking [G2980][G1473] to [G4314] the [G3588] men , and [G2532] became angry [G3710] with rage [G2372] Eliab] with [G1722] the [G3588] David, and [G2532] said [G2036], Why [G2444] [is] this [G3778] you came down [G2597], and [G2532] for [G1909] why did [G5100] you leave the [G3588] small [G3397] sheep [G4263] those [G1565] in [G1722] the [G3588] wilderness [G2048]? I [G1473] know [G1492] the [G3588] your pride [G5243][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] evil [G2549] of the [G3588] your heart [G2588]; that [G3754] because of [G1752] the [G3588] seeing [G1492] the [G3588] war [G4171] you came down [G2597].
29: And [G2532] David said [G2036], What [G5100] did I do [G4160] now [G3568]? not [G3780] a word [G4487] Is it ?
30: And [G2532] he turned from him [G1473] unto [G1519] rank [G3313] another [G2087], and [G2532] he said [G2036] thus [G3779]. And [G2532] they answered to him [G1473] according to [G2596] the [G3588] word [G4487] for the [G3588]merly [G4387].
31: And [G2532] they heard the [G3588] words [G3056] of David which [G3739] he spoke [G2980], and [G2532] they were announced before [G1799] Saul.
32: And [G2532] David said [G2036] to [G4314] Saul, Let not [G3361] be downcast the [G3588] heart [G2588] of the [G3588] my boss [G2962][G1473] over [G1909] him [G1473]! the [G3588] Your servant [G1401][G1473] will go [G4198] and [G2532] do battle [G4170] with [G3326] the [G3588] this Philistine [G3778].
33: And [G2532] Saul said [G2036] to [G4314] David, In no way will you be able [G1410] to go [G4198] against [G4314] the [G3588] this Philistine [G3778] to battle [G4170] against [G4314] him [G1473], for [G3754] you [G1473] are a boy [G3808], and he [G1473][G1161] is a man of war from [G1537] his youth [G3503][G1473].
34: And [G2532] David said [G2036] to [G4314] Saul, tending [G4165] was the [G3588] Your servant [G1401][G1473] for the [G3588] his father [G3962][G1473] among [G1722] the [G3588] flock [G4168]. And [G2532] whenever [G3752] came [G2064] the [G3588] lion [G3023] and [G2532] the [G3588] bear , and [G2532] it took [G2983] a sheep [G4263] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] convoy ',
35: that [G2532] I went forth [G1607] after [G3694] him [G1473], and [G2532] struck [G3960] him [G1473], and [G2532] pulled it out of [G1537] the [G3588] mouth [G4750] of him [G1473]; and [G2532] if [G1487] he rose up [G1881] against [G1909] me [G1473], [G2532] I held [G2902] the [G3588] his throat [G1473] and [G2532] struck [him [G3960], and [G2532] I put him to death [G2289][G1473].
36: And [G2532] the [G3588] lion [G3023] and [G2532] the [G3588] bear beat [G5180] the [G3588] your servant [G1401][G1473], and [G2532] will be the [G3588] Philistine [G3778] this [G3778] the [G3588] uncircumcised as [G5613] one [G1520] of these [G3778] who [G3739] berates [G3679] battle array of living God '[G2316][G2198].
37: And [G2532] David said [G2036], Boss '[G2962] who [G3739] rescued [G1807] me [G1473] from out of [G1537] hand [G5495] of the [G3588] lion [G3023], and [G2532] from out of [G1537] hand [G5495] of the [G3588] bear , he [G1473] will rescue [G1807] me [G1473] from out of [G1537] hand [G5495] the [G3588] Philistine of the [G3588] this uncircumcised [G3778]. And [G2532] Saul said [G2036] to [G4314] David, Go [G4198] and [G2532] the BOSS will be the [G3588][G2962] with [G3326] you [G1473]!
38: And [G2532] Saul clothed [G1746] the [G3588] David the [G3588] [with] his uniform [G1473], and [G2532] helmet [G4030] a brass [G5470] put [G2007] upon [G1909] the [G3588] his head [G2776][G1473], and [G2532] clothed [G1746] him [G1473] [with] a chest [plate [G2382].
39: And [G2532] David tied on [G2224] the [G3588] his sword [G3162][G1473] upon [G1883] himself [G1473]. And [G2532] tired [G2872] walking [G4043] David] in [G1722] the [G3588] proceeding with [G1722] them [G1473], for [G3754] he was inexperienced . And [G2532] David said [G2036] to [G4314] Saul, In no way will I be able [G1410] to go [G4198] in [G1722] these [G3778], for [G3754] I have not tested them [G3756][G3985]; and [G2532] they removed [G4014] them [G1473] from him [G1473].
40: And [G2532] he took [G2983] the [G3588] his rod [G4464][G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] his hand [G5495][G1473], and [G2532] chose [G1586] for himself [G1438] five [G4002] stones [G3037] smooth [G3006] from out of [G1537] the [G3588] rushing stream [G5493]. And [G2532] he put [G5087] them [G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] canteen of the [G3588] shepherd , the [G3588] [one] being of him '[G1473], for [G1519] a collection . And [G2532] the [G3588] his sling [G1473] [was] in [G1722] the [G3588] his hand [G5495][G1473]; and [G2532] he went forward [G4334] to [G4314] the [G3588] man , the [G3588] Philistine .
41: And [G2532] went [G4198] the [G3588] Philistine , going [G4198] and [G2532] approaching [G1448] to [G4314] David. And [G2532] the [G3588] man , the [G3588] [one] caring the [G3588] oblong shield [G2375] [was] before [G1715] him [G1473]. And [G2532] looked [G1914] the [G3588] Philistine .
42: And [G2532] Goliath looked [at] [G1492] the [G3588] David, and [G2532] he treated him with contempt [G1847][G1473], for [G3754] he [G1473] was a boy [G3808], and [G2532] he was [G1473] ruddy with [G3326] beauty of eyes [G3788].
43: And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] Philistine to [G4314] David, As [G5616] a dog [G2965] Am I [G1473] that [G3754] you come [G1831] with [G1722] a rod [G4464] and [G2532] stones [G3037]? And [G2532] cursed [G2672] the [G3588] Philistine the [G3588] David by [G1722] the [G3588] his gods '[G2316][G1473].
