1 Samuel 17 (WEBP)

[1] Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephesdammim.
[2] Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and encamped in the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
[3] The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
[4] A champion out of the camp of the Philistines named Goliath of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span went out.
[5] He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he wore a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.
[6] He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders.
[7] The staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer went before him.
[8] He stood and cried to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
[9] If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you will be our servants and serve us.”
[10] The Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel today! Give me a man, that we may fight together!”
[11] When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
[12] Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul.
[13] The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
[14] David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul.
[15] Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
[16] The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
[17] Jesse said to David his son, “Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;
[18] and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand; and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news.”
[19] Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
[20] David rose up early in the morning and left the sheep with a keeper, and took the provisions and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.
[21] Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
[22] David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
[23] As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them.
[24] All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were terrified.
[25] The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father’s house tax-free in Israel.”
[26] David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
[27] The people answered him in this way, saying, “So shall it be done to the man who kills him.”
[28] Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the evil of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle.”
[29] David said, “What have I now done? Is there not a cause?”
[30] He turned away from him toward another, and spoke like that again; and the people answered him again the same way.
[31] When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed them before Saul; and he sent for him.
[32] David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
[33] Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
[34] David said to Saul, “Your servant was keeping his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,
[35] I went out after him, struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, struck him, and killed him.
[36] Your servant struck both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, since he has defied the armies of the living God.”
[37] David said, “Yahweh, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion and out of the paw of the bear, will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go! Yahweh will be with you.”
[38] Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
[39] David strapped his sword on his clothing and he tried to move, for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these, for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.
[40] He took his staff in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag which he had. His sling was in his hand; and he came near to the Philistine.
[41] The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
[42] When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.
[43] The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
[44] The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the field.”
[45] Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
[46] Today, Yahweh will deliver you into my hand. I will strike you and take your head from off you. I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines today to the birds of the sky and to the wild animals of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
[47] and that all this assembly may know that Yahweh doesn’t save with sword and spear; for the battle is Yahweh’s, and he will give you into our hand.”
[48] When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
[49] David put his hand in his bag, took a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.
[50] So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand.
[51] Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
[52] The men of Israel and of Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as Gai and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and to Ekron.
[53] The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
[54] David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.
[55] When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I can’t tell.”
[56] The king said, “Inquire whose son the young man is!”
[57] As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
[58] Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, you young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”

1 Samuel 17:4 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. A span is the length from the tip of a man’s thumb to the tip of his little finger when his hand is stretched out (about half a cubit, or 9 inches, or 22.8 cm.) Therefore, Goliath was about 9 feet and 9 inches or 2.97 meters tall.
1 Samuel 17:5 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 5000 shekels is about 50 kilograms or 110 pounds.
1 Samuel 17:7 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 600 shekels is about 6 kilograms or about 13 pounds.
1 Samuel 17:17 1 ephah is about 22 liters or about ²⁄₃ of a bushel

[1] Now the Philistines gathered together () their armies to battle, and were gathered together () at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched () between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.
[2] And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, () and pitched () by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array () against () the Philistines.
[3] And the Philistines stood () on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood () on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
[4] And there went out () a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
[5] And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed () with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
[6] And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
[7] And the staff () of his spear was like a weaver’s () beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing () a shield went () before him.
[8] And he stood () and cried () unto the armies of Israel, and said () unto them, Why are ye come out () to set your battle in array? () am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose () you a man for you, and let him come down () to me.
[9] If he be able () to fight () with me, and to kill () me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail () against him, and kill () him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve () us.
[10] And the Philistine said, () I defy () the armies of Israel this day; give () me a man, that we may fight () together.
[11] When Saul and all Israel heard () those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, () and greatly afraid. ()
[12] Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went () among men for an old man () in the days of Saul.
[13] And the three eldest sons of Jesse went () and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went () to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
[14] And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed () Saul.
[15] But David went () and returned () from Saul to feed () his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem.
[16] And the Philistine drew near () morning () and evening, () and presented () himself forty days.
[17] And Jesse said () unto David his son, Take () now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run () to the camp to thy brethren;
[18] and carry () these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look () how thy brethren fare, and take () their pledge.
[19] Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting () with the Philistines.
[20] And David rose up early () in the morning, and left () the sheep with a keeper, () and took, () and went, () as Jesse had commanded () him; and he came () to the trench, as the host was going forth () to the fight, and shouted () for the battle.
[21] For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, () army against () army.
[22] And David left () his carriage in the hand of the keeper () of the carriage, and ran () into the army, and came () and saluted () his brethren.
[23] And as he talked () with them, behold, there came up () the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies () of the Philistines, and spake () according to the same words: and David heard () them.
[24] And all the men of Israel, when they saw () the man, fled () from him, and were sore afraid. ()
[25] And the men of Israel said, () Have ye seen () this man that is come up? () surely to defy () Israel is he come up: () and it shall be, that the man who killeth () him, the king will enrich () him with great riches, and will give () him his daughter, and make () his father’s house free in Israel.
[26] And David spake () to the men that stood () by him, saying, () What shall be done () to the man that killeth () this Philistine, and taketh away () the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy () the armies of the living God?
[27] And the people answered () him after this manner, saying, () So shall it be done () to the man that killeth () him.
[28] And Eliab his eldest brother heard () when he spake () unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled () against David, and he said, () Why camest thou down () hither? and with whom hast thou left () those few sheep in the wilderness? I know () thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down () that thou mightest see () the battle.
[29] And David said, () What have I now done? () Is there not a cause?
[30] And he turned () from him toward another, and spake () after the same manner: and the people answered him again () after the former manner.
[31] And when the words were heard () which David spake, () they rehearsed () them before Saul: and he sent () for him.
[32] And David said () to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail () because of him; thy servant will go () and fight () with this Philistine.
[33] And Saul said () to David, Thou art not able () to go () against this Philistine to fight () with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
[34] And David said () unto Saul, Thy servant kept () his father’s sheep, and there came () a lion, and a bear, and took () a lamb () out of the flock:
[35] and I went out () after him, and smote () him, and delivered () it out of his mouth: and when he arose () against me, I caught () him by his beard, and smote () him, and slew () him.
[36] Thy servant slew () both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied () the armies of the living God.
[37] David said () moreover, The Lord that 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 () unto David, Go, () and the Lord be with thee.
[38] And Saul armed () David with his armour, and he put () an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed () him with a coat of mail.
[39] And David girded () his sword upon his armour, and he assayed () to go; () for he had not proved () it. And David said () unto Saul, I cannot () go () with these; for I have not proved () them. And David put () them off him.
[40] And he took () his staff in his hand, and chose () him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put () them in a shepherd’s () bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near () to the Philistine.
[41] And the Philistine came () on () and drew near unto David; and the man that bare () the shield went before him.
[42] And when the Philistine looked about, () and saw () David, he disdained () him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
[43] And the Philistine said () unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest () to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed () David by his gods.
[44] And the Philistine said () to David, Come () to me, and I will give () thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
[45] Then said () David to the Philistine, Thou comest () to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come () to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. ()
[46] This day will the Lord deliver () thee into mine hand; and I will smite () thee, and take () thine head from thee; and I will give () the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know () that there is a God in Israel.
[47] And all this assembly shall know () that the Lord saveth () not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give () you into our hands.
[48] And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, () and came () and drew nigh () to meet () David, that David hasted, () and ran () toward the army to meet () the Philistine.
[49] And David put () his hand in his bag, and took () thence a stone, and slang () it, and smote () the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk () into his forehead; and he fell () upon his face to the earth.
[50] So David prevailed () over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote () the Philistine, and slew () him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
[51] Therefore David ran, () and stood () upon the Philistine, and took () his sword, and drew () it out of the sheath thereof, and slew () him, and cut off () his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw () their champion was dead, () they fled. ()
[52] And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, () and shouted, () and pursued () the Philistines, until thou come () to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down () by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
[53] And the children of Israel returned () from chasing () after the Philistines, and they spoiled () their tents.
[54] And David took () the head of the Philistine, and brought () it to Jerusalem; but he put () his armour in his tent.
[55] And when Saul saw () David go forth () against () the Philistine, he said () unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, () As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. ()
[56] And the king said, () Enquire () thou whose son the stripling is.
[57] And as David returned () from the slaughter () of the Philistine, Abner took () him, and brought () him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
[58] And Saul said () to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, () I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.

[49] και εξετεινεν δαυιδ την χειρα αυτου εις το καδιον και ελαβεν εκειθεν λιθον ενα και εσφενδονησεν και επαταξεν τον αλλοφυλον επι το μετωπον αυτου και διεδυ ο λιθος δια της περικεφαλαιας εις το μετωπον αυτου και επεσεν επι προσωπον αυτου επι την γην …
[51] και εδραμεν δαυιδ και επεστη επ αυτον και ελαβεν την ρομφαιαν αυτου και εθανατωσεν αυτον και αφειλεν την κεφαλην αυτου και ειδον οι αλλοφυλοι οτι τεθνηκεν ο δυνατος αυτων και εφυγον
[52] και ανιστανται ανδρες ισραηλ και ιουδα και ηλαλαξαν και κατεδιωξαν οπισω αυτων εως εισοδου γεθ και εως της πυλης ασκαλωνος και επεσαν τραυματιαι των αλλοφυλων εν τη οδω των πυλων και εως γεθ και εως ακκαρων
[53] και ανεστρεψαν ανδρες ισραηλ εκκλινοντες οπισω των αλλοφυλων και κατεπατουν τας παρεμβολας αυτων
[54] και ελαβεν δαυιδ την κεφαλην του αλλοφυλου και ηνεγκεν αυτην εις ιερουσαλημ και τα σκευη αυτου εθηκεν εν τω σκηνωματι αυτου
