4 Then a champion named Goliath, from Gath, 17:4 2Sm 21:18–22; 1Ch 20:4–8 came out from the Philistine camp. He was nine feet, nine inches 17:4 DSS, LXX read four cubits and a span; i.e., six and a half feet, 17:4 Lit was six cubits and a span tall
33 But Saul replied, "You can’t go fight this Philistine. You’re just a youth, and he’s been a warrior since he was young."
37 Then David said, "The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine." 17:37 2Tm 4:17–18
Saul said to David, "Go, and may the Lord be with you." 17:37 1Sm 20:13
40 Instead, he took his staff in his hand 17:40 Jdg 20:16 and chose five smooth stones from the wadi and put them in the pouch, in his shepherd’s bag. Then, with his sling in his hand, he approached the Philistine.
45 David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with a sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord of Armies, the God of the ranks of Israel — you have defied him. 17:45 2Ch 32:7–8; Ps 124:8; Heb 11:34
49 David put his hand in the bag, took out a stone, slung it, and hit the Philistine on his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown to the ground.
