ThomsonAnd he stood, and cried with a loud voice, to the line of Israel, and said to them, Why come ye out to array yourselves for battle against us? Am not I a Philistine; and you Hebrews the servants of Saul? Choose out for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.

BrentonAnd he stood and cried to the army of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye come forth to set yourselves in battle array against us? Am not I a Philistine, and ye Hebrews of Saul? choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.

GreekΚαὶ ἔστη καὶ ἀνεβόησεν εἰς τὴν παράταξιν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, τί ἐκπορεύεσθε παρατάξασθαι πολέμῳ ἐξεναντίας ἡμῶν; οὐκ ἐγώ εἰμι ἀλλόφυλος, καὶ ὑμεῖς Ἐβραῖοι τοῦ Σαούλ; ἐκλέξασθε ἐαυτοῖς ἄνδρα, καὶ καταβήτω πρὸς με.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ὠνείδισα τὴν παράταξιν Ἰσραὴλ σήμερον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ· δότε μοι ἄνδρα, καὶ μονομαχήσομεν ἀμφότεροι.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν Δαυὶδ, οὐ μὴ δυνήσῃ πορευθῆναι πρὸς τὸν ἀλλόφυλον τοῦ πολεμεῖν μετʼ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι παιδάριον εἶ σὺ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ.

BrentonThy servant smote both the lion and the bear, and the uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them: shall I not go and smite him, and remove this day a reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised one, who has defied the army of the living God?

GreekΚαὶ τὸν λέοντα καὶ τὴν ἄρκον ἔτυπτεν ὁ δοῦλός σου, καὶ ἔσται ὁ ἀλλόφυλος ὁ ἀπερίτμητος ὡς ἓν τούτων· οὐχὶ πορεύσομαι καὶ πατάξω αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀφελῶ σήμερον ὄνειδος ἐξ Ἰσραήλ; διότι τίς ὁ ἀπερίτμητος οὗτος, ὃς ὠνείδισε παράταξιν Θεοῦ ζῶντος;

ThomsonThe 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 uncircumcised Philistine.

BrentonThe 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 uncircumcised Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and the Lord shall be with thee.

GreekΚύριος ὃς ἐξείλατό με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ λέοντος καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς τῆς ἄρκτου, αὐτὸς ἐξελεῖταί με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου τοῦ ἀπεριτμήτου τούτου· καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Δαυὶδ, πορεύου, καὶ ἔσται Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.

BrentonAnd Saul clothed David with a military coat, and put his brazen helmet on his head.

GreekΚαὶ ἐνέδυσε Σαοὺλ τὸν Δαυὶδ μανδύαν, καὶ τὴν περικεφαλαίαν χαλκῆν περὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ,

Greekκαὶ ἔζωσε τὸν Δαυὶδ τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ ἐπάνω τοῦ μανδύου αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκοπίασε περιπατήσας ἅπαξ καὶ δίς· καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαοὺλ, οὐ μὴ δύνωμαι πορευθῆναι ἐν τούτοις, ὅτι οὐ πεπείραμαι· καὶ ἀφαιροῦσιν αὐτὰ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.

BrentonAnd he took his staff in his hand, and he chose for himself five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's scrip which he had for his store, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.

GreekΚαὶ ἔλαβε τὴν βακτηρίαν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξελέξατο ἑαυτῷ πέντε λίθους λείους ἐκ τοῦ χειμάῤῥου, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ καδίῳ τῷ ποιμενικῷ τῷ ὄντι αὐτῷ εἰς συλλογὴν, καὶ σφενδόνη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ προσῆλθε πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα τὸν ἀλλόφυλον.

ThomsonWhen Goliath saw David, He despised him exceedingly; for he was a mere youth, and was of a ruddy complexion with beautiful eyes.

BrentonAnd Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.

GreekΚαὶ εἶδε Γολιὰθ τὸν Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐξητίμασεν αὐτόν· ὅτι αὐτὸς ἦν παιδάριον, καὶ αὐτὸς πυῤῥάκης μετὰ κάλλους ὀφθαλμὼν.

ThomsonAnd the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that thou shouldst come out against me with a stick, and with stones?

BrentonAnd the Philistine said to David, Am I as a dog, that thou comest against me with a staff and stones? [and David said, Nay, but worse than a dog.] And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πρὸς Δαυὶδ, ὡσεὶ κύων ἐγώ εἰμι, ὅτι σὺ ἔρχῃ ἐπʼ ἐμὲ ἐν ῥάβδῳ καὶ λίθοις; καὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ, οὐχί, ἀλλʼ ἢ χείρωυ κυνός· καὶ κατηράσατο ὁ ἀλλόφυλος τὸν Δαυὶδ ἐν τοῖς θεοῖς αὐτοῦ.

ThomsonAnd David said, Nay, but worse than a dog. Upon which the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And when the Philistine said to David, Come hither to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and the beasts of the earth,

BrentonAnd the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ ἀλλόφυλος πρὸς Δαυὶδ, δεῦρο πρὸς μὲ, καὶ δώσω τὰς σάρκας σου τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσι τῆς γῆς.

ThomsonDavid said to the Philistine, Thou comest against me with a sword, and a spear, and a shield, but I am coming to thee with the name of the Lord God of Sabbaoth, of the army of Israel, which thou hast, this day, defied.

BrentonAnd David said to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with sword, and with spear, and with shield; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord God of hosts of the army of Israel, which thou hast defied

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς τὸν ἀλλόφυλον, σὺ ἔρχῃ πρὸς μὲ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ ἐν δόρατι καὶ ἐν ἀσπίδι, κᾀγὼ πορεύομαι πρὸς σὲ ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου Θεοῦ σαβαὼθ παρατάξεως Ἰσραὴλ, ἣν ὠνείδισας σήμερον,

ThomsonAnd the Lord will deliver thee this day into my hand, and I will kill thee, and cut off thy head, and give thy carcass, and the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day, to the birds of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel;

Brentonthis day. And the Lord shall deliver thee this day into my hand; and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from off thee, and will give thy limbs and the limbs of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel.

Greekκαὶ ἀποκλείσει σε Κύριος σήμερον εἰς τὴν χεῖρά μου, καὶ ἀποκτενῶ σε, καὶ ἀφελῶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ δώσω τὰ κῶλά σου καὶ τὰ κῶλα παρεμβολῆς ἀλλοφύλων ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς· καὶ γνώσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ὅτι ἔστι Θεὸς ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

BrentonAnd all this assembly shall know that the Lord delivers not by sword or spear, for the battle is the Lord's, and the Lord will deliver you into our hands.

GreekΚαὶ γνώσεται πᾶσα ἡ ἐκκλησία αὕτη, ὅτι οὐκ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ καὶ δόρατι σώζει Κύριος, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου ὁ πόλεμος, καὶ παραδώσει Κύριος ὑμᾶς εἰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν.

ThomsonThen the Philistine arose and went to meet David.

BrentonAnd David stretched out his hand to his scrip, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone penetrated through the helmet into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the ground.

GreekΚαὶ ἐξέτεινε Δαυὶδ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ κάδιον, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκεῖθεν λίθον ἕνα, καὶ ἐσφενδόνησε, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν ἀλλόφυλον εἰς τὸ μέτωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέδυ ὁ λίθος διὰ τῆς περικεφαλαίας εἰς τὸ μέτωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.

BrentonAnd David ran, and stood upon him, and took his sword, and slew him, and cut off his head: and the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.

GreekΚαὶ ἔδραμε Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἐπέστη ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἀφεῖλε τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι, ὅτι τέθνηκεν ὁ δυνατὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔφυγον.
