17And Jesse said to his son David, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dry grain and these ten cakes of bread, and go quickly with them to the tents to your brothers;
18And take these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are and come back with a sign to say how they are.
19Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20And David got up early in the morning, and, giving the sheep into the care of a keeper, took the things and went as Jesse had said; and he came to the lines where the carts were, when the army was going out to the fight giving their war-cry.
21And Israel and the Philistines had put their forces in position, army against army.
22And David gave his parcels into the hands of the keeper of the army stores, and went running to the army and came to his brothers to get knowledge about them.
23And while he was talking to them, the fighter, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came out from the Philistines' lines and said the same words, in David's hearing.
