37David said, Yahweh 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 Philistine. Saul said to David, Go, and Yahweh shall be with you.
38Saul clad David with his clothing, and he put a helmet of brass on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.
39David girded his sword on his clothing, and he tried to go; for he had not proved it. David said to Saul, I can`t go with these; for I have not proved them. David put them off him.
40He took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd`s bag which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
41The Philistine came on and drew near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.
42When the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and withal of a fair face.
43The Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks? The Philistine cursed David by his gods.
