Löydetty 1152 Tulokset: David's Throne
When his elder brother Eliab overheard the talk, he turned upon David in anger; Why hast thou come here? he asked. Why must that sorry flock of thine go astray in the desert? This is thy old self-conceit, thy old cunning; thou hast come here only to watch the battle! (1 Samuel 17, 28)
Why, what wrong have I done? David asked. Is there not matter here for questioning? (1 Samuel 17, 29)
What David had said was soon noised abroad, till it came to the ears of Saul; (1 Samuel 17, 31)
But David told Saul, My lord, I used to feed my father’s flock; and if lion or bear came and carried off one of my rams, (1 Samuel 17, 34)
The Lord, said David, who protected me against lion and bear, will protect me against this Philistine.Why then, said Saul, go, and the Lord be with thee. (1 Samuel 17, 37)
Then he made David wear his own armour, put a helmet of bronze on his head, and a breastplate round him; (1 Samuel 17, 38)
and David, as he girded on a sword over his armour, tried whether he had strength to walk in this unwonted array. Nay, he told Saul, I cannot walk, so clad; it was never my wont. So he disarmed, (1 Samuel 17, 39)
and looked at David with contempt; here was a boy, red-cheeked and fair of face. (1 Samuel 17, 42)
What, he asked, dost thou take me for a dog, that thou comest to meet me with a staff? And he cursed David in the name of his gods. (1 Samuel 17, 43)
Nay, said David, though thou comest with sword and spear and shield to meet me, meet thee I will, in the name of the Lord of hosts; in the name of that God who fights for the armies of Israel. (1 Samuel 17, 45)
By now, the Philistine had bestirred himself, and was coming on to attack David at close quarters; so, without more ado, David ran towards the enemy’s lines, to meet him. (1 Samuel 17, 48)
Thus David overcame the Philistine with sling and stone, smote and slew him. No sword he bore of his own, (1 Samuel 17, 50)
