40 and he takes his staff in his hand and chooses five smooth stones from the wadi and sets them in the instrument of the tender he has in a pouch; and his sling is in his hand: and he draws near the Peleshethiy:
41 and in walking, the Peleshethiy walks and approaches David; and the man bearing the shield at his face.
