Bible. Samuel, 1st
an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves,
and carry [them] quickly to the camp to your brothers;
017:018 and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand,
and look how your brothers fare, and take their pledge.
017:019 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley
of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
017:020 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 place of the wagons, as the army which was
going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
017:021 Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array,
army against army.
017:022 David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage,
and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
017:023 As he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion,
the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks
of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words:
and David heard them.
017:024 All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him,
and were sore afraid.
017:025 The men of Israel said, Have you seen this man who is come
up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be,

anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why are you come down?
and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness?
I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart;
for you have come down that you might see the battle.
017:029 David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
017:030 He turned away from him toward another, and spoke after
the same manner: and the people answered him again after
the former manner.
017:031 When the words were heard which David spoke, they rehearsed
them before Saul; and he sent for him.
017:032 David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him;
your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
017:033 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.
